1. A man who led half the princes of Judah in the procession at the dedication of the walls of Jerusalem (Ne 12:32). 2. The father of Jezaniah (Jer 42:1), or Azariah (Jer 43:2).
Then all the army officers, including Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah and all the people of every class, went to the prophet Jeremiah.
Then Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and other arrogant men said to Jeremiah, "You are telling a lie! The Lord our God did not send you to tell us, 'You must not go to Egypt and settle there.'
