From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Eliashib whom God will restore. (1.) A priest, head of one of the courses of the priests of the time of David (1 Chr. 24:12). (2.) A high priest in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Neh. 12:22, 23). He rebuilt the eastern city wall (3:1), his own mansion being in that quarter, on the ridge Ophel (3:20, 21). His indulgence of Tobiah the Ammonite provoked the indignation of Nehemiah (13:4, 7).
From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
Eliashib, the God of conversion
