Yehoyada Hakohen was the father of Binayahu, one of King Dovid's early warriors. Binayahu ben Yehoyada had a son Yehoyada the second who in-turn had a son Binayahu the second who became famous as a leading Kabbalist and the head general of King Shlomo. During the reign of King Yoash, there was another Yehoyada who served as Kohen Gadol and was possibly their descendent.
