Jahath — a proper name borne by a grandson of Judah and several Levites, possibly meaning 'he (God) will snatch up.'
Jahath is a masculine proper name appearing across the genealogies of Chronicles, borne by at least five distinct individuals. One is a grandson of Judah through Shobal (1 Chr 4:2), while the others are Levites serving in various capacities across Israel's worship history (1 Chr 6:5, 23:10, 24:22; 2 Chr 34:12). The name likely derives from a root meaning 'he will snatch up,' suggesting divine rescue or deliverance. The LXX renders it variously as Ieeth, Iaath, and Inath, reflecting different manuscript traditions.
