-'''Eliashib''' was the Jewish High Priest, from 470 BCE to 433 BCE.
-==Overview==
-Eliashib was a member of the [[House of Zadok]]. He ruled as High Priest, from 470 BCE (after his father [[Joiakim]]), to 433 BCE (followed by his son [[JoiadaJoiada]]). Both the Memoirs of Nehemiah and Josephus located his priesthood at the time of [[Nehemiah]] (who according to Ezra-Nehemiah was a contemporaneous of Ezra, while according to Josephus, came after the death of Ezra).
-The Memoirs of Nehemiah associated the name of Eliashib to three important events, (a) the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem (Eliashib and his House rebuilt the Sheep Gate); (b) the struggle with the Tobiads (Eliashib had given Tobiah access to the treasure of the Temple); and (c) the Samaritan schism (one the grandchildren of Eliashib was the son-in-law of Shanballat and refused to separate from his wife).
