SCRIPTURE

"And Jehozadak went [into captivity], when Jehovah carried away Judah and Jerusalem by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar." — 1 Chronicles 6:15 (ASV)

Jehozadak - The meaning of the name is “Jehovah is righteous.” It has been noted as remarkable that the heads of both the priestly and the royal lineages carried to Babylon had names (Zedekiah and Jehozadak) composed of the same elements, affirming the “justice of God,” which their sufferings demonstrated so strikingly.
