Jeush — a proper name borne by several figures, most prominently an Edomite chieftain descended from Esau
The name יְעוּשׁ (Ye'ush), possibly meaning 'he comes to help' or 'may [God] aid,' belongs to at least five individuals in the Hebrew Bible. The most prominent is Jeush the son of Esau by his wife Oholibamah, who became an Edomite clan chief (Gen 36:5, 14, 18; 1 Chr 1:35). A Benjaminite Jeush appears in Saul's genealogy (1 Chr 7:10; 8:39), and another is a son of Rehoboam (2 Chr 11:19). A Levitical Jeush is listed among the sons of Shimei (1 Chr 23:10-11). The name's recurrence across tribal boundaries — Edomite, Benjaminite, Judahite, Levitical — illustrates the widespread use of theophoric naming patterns in West Semitic cultures.

1. Jeush / Ye'ush (proper name) — A proper name of uncertain etymology, borne by several individuals: an Edomite chieftain, son of Esau and Oholibamah (Gen 36:5, 14, 18; 1 Chr 1:35), a Benjaminite in Saul's lineage (1 Chr 7:10; 8:39), a son of King Rehoboam of Judah (2 Chr 11:19), and a Levitical figure among the sons of Shimei (1 Chr 23:10-11). The Edomite bearer is the most historically significant, as his clan is listed among the tribal chiefs of Edom. Spanish 'Jeús' and English 'Jeush' reflect standard transliteration; the LXX renders it Ιεους. 10×
