Topical Lexicon

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Jehoash, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the name may appear in Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, transliterated as Ιωας (Ioas).

Usage: The name Jehoash is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two different kings:
• Jehoash, the king of Judah.
• Jehoash, the king of Israel.

Context: Jehoash, also known as Joash, is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, appearing as the name of two kings in the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah.

• Jehoash of Judah: He was the son of Ahaziah and became king at the age of seven after being hidden from Queen Athaliah's massacre of the royal family. His reign is noted for the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem. Under the guidance of Jehoiada the priest, Jehoash initiated repairs to the Temple, as recorded in 2 Kings 12:4-16 and 2 Chronicles 24:4-14. However, after Jehoiada's death, Jehoash turned away from God, leading to his assassination by his own officials (2 Chronicles 24:25).

• Jehoash of Israel: He was the son of Jehoahaz and reigned over Israel in Samaria. His reign is marked by military conflicts with the Arameans and a notable encounter with the prophet Elisha. Jehoash visited Elisha on his deathbed, where Elisha instructed him to strike the ground with arrows, symbolizing victories over Aram (2 Kings 13:14-19). Jehoash also successfully recaptured cities from Ben-Hadad, king of Aram (2 Kings 13:25).

Both kings named Jehoash are remembered for their complex legacies, with initial faithfulness followed by periods of decline and disobedience to God.
