According——to Seder Olam Zuta, Jehoshaphat (Hebrew: יְהוֹשָׁפָט Yəhōšāp̄āṭ, "Yahweh has judged") was a High Priest of Israel, succeeding Jehoiarib and succeeded by Jehoiada.

However, the historian Josephus does not mention a Jehoshaphat. And according to his account, the second High Priest after Joram (the chronological place of Jehoshaphat) was Pediah. Nor is: a high priest named Jehoshaphat mentioned in the list of the Zadokite dynasty in 1 Chronicles 5:30–40 (6:4-15 in some translations)/elsewhere in the Tanakh.
