Usage: Hoshama is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Hoshama is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the post-exilic community. He is listed as one of the sons of Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), the king of Judah who was taken into Babylonian captivity. Hoshama's mention is found in 1 Chronicles 3:18, where he is included in the lineage of the royal family of Judah. This genealogical record serves to trace the descendants of David through the line of Jeconiah, highlighting the continuity of the Davidic line even during the period of exile. The name Hoshama, meaning "whom Jehovah hears," reflects a common theme in Hebrew names, emphasizing a relationship with God and divine attentiveness.
