Joash

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

This Joash entry refers to a Benjaminite descendant in 1 Chronicles 7:8, not to the Benjamite archer who joins David or the royal official over oil stores. He belongs to the internal genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. First appears in 1 Chr 7:8.1

AI summary: This Joash matters because his single cross reference helps define one branch of Benjamin's family record through a remembered sibling group. Even without a narrative role, the entry contributes to the tribe's detailed continuity. Taken together, the material presents this Joash as a Benjaminite family figure in the preserved genealogy.1
