Yashoveam/Jashobeam, one of David's mighty men and military commander
A personal name borne by one of David's most renowned warriors, appearing in three Chronicles passages: 1 Chronicles 11:11 (among the Three mighty men), 12:7 (a Benjaminite who joined David at Ziklag—possibly a different person), and 27:2 (commander of the first monthly division). The name corresponds to the problematic phrase ישֵׁב בַּשֶּׁבֶת in 2 Samuel 23:8, which scholars widely emend to Ishbaal/Ishbosheth. Some scholars suggest reading אִשְׁבַּעַל throughout. The Greek variants (Ιεσεβαδα, Ιεσσεβααλ, Ισβααμ) reflect textual uncertainty. Despite the confusion, Chronicles consistently portrays Yashoveam as a premier warrior and commander.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A heroic personal name associated with David's elite warriors. Whether one individual or two bearing the same name, Yashoveam represents the military leadership that secured David's kingdom. The textual complications with the parallel Samuel text and scholarly proposals to read Ishbaal show how proper names could become corrupted or deliberately altered (especially names containing 'Baal'). The Spanish and French glosses standardize to Jasobeam/Yasobeam, following common transliteration practice. 3×
