Person

Jehosheba

여호세바

Named at 2 Kings 11:2 as “the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah”: “But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.” 11:3 says, “He was with her hidden in the LORD’s house six years while Athaliah reigned over the land.” The verse does not say which king this King Joram is. The Korean Revised Version has Jehosheba hide him and his nurse in the bedroom (저와 그 유모를 침실에 숨겨).

Unresolved interpretation: King Joram of 2 Kings 11:2

2 Kings 8:23–24 says, “The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.” The Korean Revised Version names him 여호람 (Jehoram) in both verses.

2 Kings 8:28 says that the Syrians wounded Joram the son of Ahab in the war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and 8:29 says, “King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.” The Korean Revised Version reads 요람왕 for “King Joram” and 아합의 아들 요람 for “Joram the son of Ahab”, and names Ahaziah’s father 여호람 (Jehoram).

2 Kings 11:1–2 says, “Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal offspring. But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were slain, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.” The Korean Revised Version reads 요람왕 for “King Joram”.

2 Kings 11:2 calls Jehosheba “the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah”, and does not say whose son that King Joram is. The Korean Revised Version names Ahaziah’s father 여호람 (Jehoram) at 8:23–24 and 8:29; WEB names him “Joram” at 8:23–24 and “Jehoram” at 8:29. The Korean Revised Version names the son of Ahab 요람 and 요람왕 at 8:28–29; WEB names him “Joram” and “King Joram”. The text does not say which of these two kings the King Joram of 11:2 is. This collection gives Jehosheba no father, records Jehosheba and Ahaziah as brother and sister, as 11:2 says, and does not decide which king is meant.

Unresolved interpretation: Jehoshabeath and Jehosheba, who hid Joash

2 Chronicles 22:11 says Jehoshabeath, Jehoram’s daughter, Ahaziah’s sister, and Jehoiada’s wife, hid Joash.
