Jeush is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, referring to different individuals across various genealogies and narratives. The name Jeush is of Hebrew origin, meaning "he will gather" or "assembler."

1. Jeush, Son of Esau: Jeush is first mentioned as one of the sons of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Esau, also known as Edom, had three wives, and Jeush was born to him through his wife Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite. Jeush, along with his brothers Jalam and Korah, became leaders of Edomite clans. This is recorded in Genesis 36:5, 14, and 18: "And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan" (Genesis 36:5).

2. Jeush, Son of Rehoboam: Another Jeush is noted as a son of King Rehoboam, the first king of Judah after the division of the united monarchy. Rehoboam had many wives and concubines, and Jeush was one of his sons by his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, son of David, and Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, son of Jesse. This is documented in 2 Chronicles 11:19: "She bore him sons: Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham" (2 Chronicles 11:19).

3. Jeush, a Benjamite: In the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin, Jeush is listed as a descendant of Benjamin. He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 7:10: "The son of Jediael: Bilhan. The sons of Bilhan: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar" (1 Chronicles 7:10). This Jeush is part of the broader narrative of the tribes of Israel and their genealogical records.

4. Jeush, a Levite: Another Jeush is identified as a Levite in the time of King David. He is mentioned in the context of the divisions of the Levites for service in the house of the Lord. This Jeush is noted in 1 Chronicles 23:10-11: "The sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all. Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; however, Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment" (1 Chronicles 23:10-11).

The multiple occurrences of the name Jeush across different tribes and families highlight the commonality of certain names in ancient Israelite culture. Each Jeush played a role within their respective familial and tribal contexts, contributing to the broader narrative of Israel's history as recorded in the Scriptures.Jeush
