Jozabad — 'YHWH has bestowed,' a theophoric personal name borne by several Levites and warriors
The name יוֹזָבָד (Yozavad), meaning 'YHWH has bestowed' or 'YHWH has endowed,' is borne by at least eight distinct individuals across the historical books and Chronicles. Two Gadite warriors who defected to David at Ziklag bore this name (1 Chr 12:5, 21). Later Jozabads appear as Levites overseeing temple treasuries and contributions under Hezekiah (2 Chr 31:13) and Josiah (2 Chr 35:9), as well as a Levite involved in weighing the returning exiles' silver and gold (Ezra 8:33). One Jozabad was among those who had married foreign wives (Ezra 10:22-23). The name's theophoric element underscores divine generosity as a naming theme.
