Hoshea

Male · 1 cross reference

This Hoshea entry refers to the ruler of Ephraim in David's administrative list, not to the covenant signatory in Nehemiah 10 or to the last king of Israel. He belongs to the structured leadership of the united monarchy. First appears in 1 Chr 27:20.1

AI summary: This Hoshea matters because his single cross reference places him among the officers representing the tribes in David's kingdom. The entry shows that royal administration worked through named regional leaders as well as central court figures. Taken together, the material presents this Hoshea as a tribal officer in David's administrative order.1
