Bible Person

Azubah

Meaning: forsaken · Female · 2 cross references

Azubah is the mother of Jehoshaphat and the wife of Asa, appearing through the dynastic notices of Judah's monarchy. She belongs to the royal household line from which one of Judah's stronger kings emerges. First appears in 1 Kgs 22:42.1

AI summary: Azubah matters because the cross references place her in the maternal background of Jehoshaphat, helping anchor the king within an actual family line rather than a bare political succession. Even brief queen-mother notices contribute to the dynastic texture of Judah's story. Taken together, the material presents Azubah as a royal mother whose place supports the genealogical continuity of Judah's kingship.1
