Joah (יוֹאָח) — 'YHWH is brother'; name of four OT figures, most notably Hezekiah's royal recorder
The personal name Joah (יוֹאָח, probably 'YHWH is brother') identifies four distinct individuals in the Old Testament. The most prominent is the son of Asaph who served as royal recorder (מַזְכִּיר) under King Hezekiah, present during the tense negotiations with the Assyrian Rabshakeh outside Jerusalem's walls (2 Kgs 18:18, 26, 37; Isa 36:3, 11, 22). The name also appears for a Gershonite Levite in David's genealogy (1 Chr 6:21), a Korahite gatekeeper (1 Chr 26:4), a Levite involved in Josiah's temple repair (2 Chr 34:8), and a Levite who participated in Hezekiah's purification of the temple (2 Chr 29:12).
