Usage: Jeshochajah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Jeshochajah is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. It appears in the context of the post-exilic period, highlighting the restoration and continuity of the Israelite community after the Babylonian exile. The name reflects a common theme in Hebrew nomenclature, emphasizing reliance on and the saving power of Yahweh. The specific mention of Jeshochajah is found in 1 Chronicles 3:20, where he is listed among the descendants of Zerubbabel, a leader in the return from exile and a significant figure in the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. This genealogical listing underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the post-exilic community, as well as the hope and trust in divine salvation and deliverance.
