Joäh

Jo'äh (Heb. Yoäch', יוֹאָח , Jehovah is his brother, i.e. helper), the name of four men.

1. (Sept. Ι᾿ωαά v.r. ῾Ιωάθ,Vulg. Joaha.) The third son of Obed-edom (q.v.), appointed with his brethren to take charge of the sacred furniture (1Ch 26:4). B.C. 1014.

2. (Sept. Ι᾿ωάχ v.r. Ι᾿ωάβ, Ι᾿ωάς, Ι᾿ωαά; but in 2 Chronicles first occurrence Ι᾿ωά v.r. Ι᾿ωδαάδ, second Ι᾿ωαχά; Vulg. Joah.) A Levite of the family of Gershom, the son of Zimmah and father of Iddo (1Ch 6:21); apparently the same elsewhere called ETHAN, and father of Adaiah (ver. 42). He is probably the same as the person who, with his son Eden, aided Hezekiah in his efforts at a religious reformation (2Ch 29:12). B.C. 726.

3. (Sept. Ι᾿ωάς, in Isaiah Ι᾿ωάχ, Vulg. Joahe.) Son of Asaph and historiographer of king Hezekiah, who was one of the messengers that received the insulting message of Rabshakeh (2Ki 18:18,26,37; Isa 36:3,11,22). B.C. 712.

4. (Sept. Ι᾿ουάχ v.r. Ι᾿ωάς, Vulg. Joha; Josephus Ι᾿ωατής, Ant. 10, 4, 1.) Son of Joahaz and historiographer of king Josiah; he was one of the officers that superintended the repairs of the Temple (2Ch 34:8). B.C. 623.
