Strong's Lexicon Yehosheba: Jehosheba Original Word: יְהוֹשֶׁבַע Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יְהוֹ (Yehô), meaning "Yahweh" or "the LORD," and שָׁבַע (shaba), meaning "to swear" or "to promise." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yehosheba in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as her account is specific to the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Yehosheba means "Yahweh is an oath" or "Yahweh has sworn." It is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a woman of royal lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: Yehosheba was a princess of the Kingdom of Judah, the daughter of King Jehoram and sister of King Ahaziah. She is most noted for her courageous act of saving her nephew, Joash, from the massacre ordered by Athaliah, the queen mother. Yehosheba was married to Jehoiada, the high priest, which positioned her uniquely at the intersection of royal and religious influence in Judah.
