Ishijah (Yishshiyyah/Yishshiyyahu), a proper name meaning 'YHWH lends/forgets not,' borne by several Levites and warriors
Ishijah (or Jishijah) is a Levitical and priestly name appearing across Chronicles and Ezra, borne by at least four individuals. A warrior from Benjamin who joined David at Ziklag bears the longer form Yishshiyyahu (1 Chr 12:6). Among the Issacharites, a clan leader carries the name (1 Chr 7:3). Two Levites — a Kohathite descendant listed in the temple service rosters (1 Chr 23:20; 24:25) and another in the priestly division (1 Chr 24:21) — also share it. Finally, one Ishijah appears among those who had taken foreign wives and agreed to put them away (Ezra 10:31). The name's meaning, 'Yah lends' or 'Yah forgets not,' suits its bearers' roles in Israel's worship and military life.

1. Yishshiyyah / Ishijah (proper noun) — The proper masculine name Yishshiyyah/Yishshiyyahu (יִשִּׁיָּה / יִשִּׁיָּהוּ), meaning 'YHWH will lend' or 'Yah forgets not,' borne by multiple individuals: a Benjaminite warrior who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr 12:6), a chief of Issachar (1 Chr 7:3), Kohathite Levites in the temple service (1 Chr 23:20; 24:21, 25), and a layman who put away his foreign wife (Ezra 10:31). Spanish offers 'Ishiya/Isias' while German and French leave the Hebrew forms largely untransliterated, reflecting the name's obscurity outside specialist reference works. 7×
