I was thinking 'Chronicles' was the definition - obviously not.
Well done Donny
Jeho(half the witnesses "jehovah's") + 1 + ada (a woman)
Yes, clue must have been Chronicles' chief priest... and all this was the definition. Still wouldn't have got it though
Miles away, well done

Thank you. You are great and persevere to the impossible.
Question Author
Don't despair Mamyalynne I wasn't even on the same planet Never mind miles away !
And well done JJ for the parse
Just goes to show though that every element of a cryptic clue 'does' something - that missing apostrophe led everyone a merry dance. :))
Question Author
Just to confirm there is no apostrophe in Chronicles in the original clue The clue as quoted in the thread is exactly as given in the magazine. As stated I am very grateful to all those who worked hard to provide an excellent answer.
We love a good tussle - even when we (me) don't sort it.
