The son of Joiada, a grandson of the high priest Eliashib, married the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite.
The son of Joiada the high priest Eliashib's grandson, unnamed in the biblical text, married the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite and was therefore expelled from Jerusalem by Nehemiah for defiling the priesthood through this intermarriage (Nehemiah 13:28). Josephus identifies this individual as Manasseh and relates that Sanballat built the Samaritan temple on Mount Gerizim for him, making this unnamed son of Joiada a pivotal figure in the origins of the Samaritan religious community — though these details go beyond the canonical text.
