Strong's Lexicon Yehoash: Jehoash or Joash Original Word: יְהוֹאָשׁ Word Origin: Derived from יְהוֹ (Yehovah, meaning "the LORD") and אָשׁ (ash, meaning "to give" or "to bestow") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for Yehoash, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, uses the transliteration Ιωας (Ioas) for Jehoash. Usage: The name Yehoash means "Yahweh has given" or "the LORD has bestowed." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to two kings: one of Judah and one of Israel. The name reflects a recognition of divine providence and blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: Yehoash is a significant name in the history of Israel and Judah, representing two kings who reigned during turbulent times. Jehoash of Judah was the son of Ahaziah and became king at a young age after being hidden from Athaliah's massacre. His reign is noted for the restoration of the temple. Jehoash of Israel, the son of Jehoahaz, is known for his military campaigns against Aram and his interactions with the prophet Elisha.
