Bible Person
Meaning: who despairs or burns · Male · 2 cross references
This Joash entry refers to a son of King Ahab mentioned in the Micaiah episode, not to the better-known kings of Judah and Israel who share the name. He belongs to the royal household backdrop of a scene dominated by prophetic warning and royal resistance. First appears in 1 Kgs 22:26.1
AI summary: This Joash matters because the cross references place him in the court setting where Micaiah's prophecy is rejected and suppressed. Though he is not the main actor, his presence helps anchor the scene in the real family and political world of Ahab's house. Taken together, the material presents this Joash as a royal son whose place contributes to the courtly context of prophetic conflict.1
