Jeshaiah, name of four post-exilic Israelites (different from Isaiah the prophet)
Jeshaiah, meaning 'salvation of Yahweh,' appears as the name of four different individuals in the post-exilic period, distinct from the great prophet Isaiah. These include a descendant of Zerubbabel, a chief who returned with Ezra, a Levitical leader, and a Benjamite. The name's theophoric element (Yah) marks these individuals as bearing testimony to Yahweh's saving work, a common pattern in Hebrew naming.

1. sense 1 — Four distinct individuals bear this name in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah: a grandson of Zerubbabel in David's royal line (1Chr 3:21), a chief of the sons of Elam who returned with Ezra from Babylon (Ezra 8:7), a chief of the Merarites in Ezra's time (Ezra 8:19), and a Benjamite in Nehemiah's Jerusalem (Neh 11:7). The Septuagint renders the name variously as Ioseia, Hesaia, Ieseia, showing Greek approximations of the theophoric name. Spanish Isaías links it to the more famous prophet, while Yeshayahu/Yeshaya preserve the Hebrew form; French and German leave it in Hebrew brackets in some instances. 4×
