Bible Person

Jerushah

Female · 2 cross references

Jerushah is the wife of Uzziah and the mother of Jotham, appearing through the royal household notices of Judah. She belongs to the dynastic line through which the monarchy passes into another stable reign. First appears in 2 Kgs 15:33.1

AI summary: Jerushah matters because the cross references place her at the maternal transition from Uzziah to Jotham, rooting succession in an actual royal household rather than a bare list of kings. Even brief queen-mother notices add family texture to Judah's monarchy. Taken together, the material presents Jerushah as a royal mother whose place supports the continuity of Judah's kingship.1
