Strong's Lexicon Yoash: Joash Original Word: יוֹעָשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָאַשׁ (ya'ash), meaning "to despair" or "to give up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Joash, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ιωας (Ioas). Usage: The name Yoash, or Joash, is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably a king of Judah and a king of Israel. The name can be understood to mean "Yahweh has given" or "Yahweh supports," reflecting a theophoric element common in Hebrew names, indicating a relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meaning and were believed to reflect the character or destiny of the individual. Joash, as a name, suggests divine support or provision. The most prominent Joash in the Bible is Joash of Judah, who became king at a young age and was initially guided by the priest Jehoiada. His reign is noted for the restoration of the temple in Jerusalem. Another Joash was a king of Israel, known for his conflict with Amaziah of Judah.
