About Adonikam
The head of a family whose descendants returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:13; Nehemiah 7:18). Ezra says that 666 members of Adonikam’s family returned, but Nehemiah says the number is 667 (which agrees with 1 Esdras 5:14). This is probably a scribal variation.
