Bible Person

Joah

Meaning: fraternity; brother of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Joah entry refers to the Levite in Hezekiah's reform listed in 2 Chronicles 29:12, not to the recorder under Josiah, the father of Eden, or the son of Obed-edom. He belongs to the worship renewal of Judah. First appears in 2 Chr 29:12.1

AI summary: This Joah matters because his single cross reference places him among the Levites who respond when Hezekiah restores the temple to proper use. The entry helps show that reform was carried out through named families and willing servants. Taken together, the material presents this Joah as a participant in Judah's liturgical renewal.1
