Heldai (or Helem), a returned exile, was one of those who provided silver and gold to make a crown for Joshua the high priest.
Heldai was one of three exiles from Babylon—along with Tobijah and Jedaiah—whom the prophet Zechariah was commanded to bring to Jerusalem and crown, in a symbolic act prefiguring the coming Messianic priest-king (Zechariah 6:10–14). The crowns made from their silver and gold were to be placed on the head of Joshua the high priest as a prophetic sign of the Branch who would build the temple and bear royal honor. The name Heldai also appears in 1 Chronicles 27:15 as the commander of David's twelfth monthly division.
