Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jushab-Chesed, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Jushab-Chesed is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in genealogical contexts.

Context: Jushab-Chesed is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. He is listed as one of the sons of Zerubbabel, a descendant of King David, who played a significant role in the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The name Jushab-Chesed reflects a theme of restoration and divine kindness, which is fitting given the historical context of the return from exile.

In 1 Chronicles 3:20, Jushab-Chesed is mentioned among the descendants of Zerubbabel: "and Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-Hesed—five in all." This passage highlights the continuation of the Davidic line through Zerubbabel's offspring, emphasizing the hope and renewal associated with the post-exilic period.

The name Jushab-Chesed, with its connotations of returning and kindness, may symbolize the restoration of God's favor and the fulfillment of His promises to the house of David. It serves as a reminder of the enduring covenantal relationship between God and His people, even after periods of judgment and exile.
