Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Joash in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the name may appear transliterated in Greek texts of the Septuagint or New Testament references to Old Testament figures.

Usage: Joash is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals, most notably a king of Judah and a king of Israel.

Context: • Joash, King of Judah: Joash was the son of Ahaziah and became king of Judah 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, Joash initiated repairs to the Temple, as recorded in 2 Kings 12:4-16 and 2 Chronicles 24:4-14. However, after Jehoiada's death, Joash turned away from God, leading to his assassination by his own officials (2 Chronicles 24:25).

• Joash, King of Israel: Joash, also known as Jehoash, was the son of Jehoahaz and reigned as king of Israel. His reign is marked by military conflicts with Aram and a notable encounter with the prophet Elisha, who instructed him to strike the ground with arrows, symbolizing victories over Aram (2 Kings 13:14-19). Joash successfully recaptured cities from Aram that had been taken during his father's reign (2 Kings 13:25).

• Other Individuals Named Joash: The name Joash is also attributed to other lesser-known figures in the Bible, including a descendant of Shelah (1 Chronicles 4:22) and a member of David's mighty warriors (1 Chronicles 12:3).
