Kad'miel (Heb. Kadmiel', קִדמַיאֵל, before God, i.e. his servant; Sept. Καδμιήλ), one of the Levites who returned with Zerubbabel from the captivity (Ne 12:8), and assisted in the various reforms of that period, being always named in connection with Jeshua (Ezr 3:9; Nehemiahvii, 43; comp. Ezr 3:9); sometimes only as a descendant in common of Hodaviah (Ezr 2:40; Ne 7:43; comp. Ezr 3:9), but once as a son (Ne 12:24). The length of time over which these notices seem to extend (B.C. 536-410) leads to the suspicion that they relate to two individuals (perhaps a brother and also a son of the Levite Jeshua), one of whom may have been concerned in the earlier events, and the other in the later.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
