Exegesis

The construct chain ben-Elyashiv {בֶּן־אֶלְיָשִׁיב֙ | ben ʾel-ya-šîḇ} links Joiada to his father Eliashib, while the compound title ha-kohen ha-gadol {הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּד֔וֹל | ha-kō-hên ha-ḡā-dōl} denotes his rank as chief priest.

In context — Nehemiah 13:28

And one of the sons of Joiada, son of Eliashib the high priest , was a son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. So I drove him away from me.
