Joash

Meaning: who despairs or burns · Male · 1 cross reference

This Joash entry refers to the Judahite family figure in 1 Chronicles 4, not to the royal-store steward under David and Solomon. He belongs to the smaller clan material preserving Judah's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 4:22.1

AI summary: This Joash matters because his single cross reference contributes one more name to the fine-grained genealogical framework of Judah. Even without a narrative role, the entry helps sustain the continuity and specificity of the tribal record. Taken together, the material presents this Joash as a family figure in Judah's preserved lineage.1
