About Joed
Joed is mentioned in Neh.11.7 as one of the Benjaminites who resettled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Following the return of the Jewish exiles to their homeland, Nehemiah, the governor of Judah, took steps to repopulate Jerusalem. He gathered the leaders, nobles, and people to be registered by genealogy, and Joed is listed among the descendants of Benjamin who chose to reside in the holy city.
