Bible Person

Joha

Meaning: who enlivens or gives life · Male · 1 cross reference

This Joha entry refers to the father of Jediael among David's mighty men, not to the Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 8:16. He belongs to the family background of the elite warrior circle remembered around David's reign. First appears in 1 Chr 11:45.1

AI summary: This Joha matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of one of David's mighty men. Even a brief paternal notice helps root the warrior tradition in remembered households rather than isolated heroics. Taken together, the material presents this Joha as a familial source in David's military circle.1
