Jeshohaiah

Jeshohaiah is named once in scripture, in a roster of Simeonite leaders gathered in 1 Chronicles. He stands in a sequence of family heads who, at the close of the chapter, are identified together as princes in their tribal lines.

Among the Princes of Simeon

The list of Simeon's clan leaders runs through several verses and names Jeshohaiah in the middle of the sequence: "and Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and Jesimiel, and Benaiah" (1Ch 4:36). The Chronicler closes the list with a summary statement that fixes their standing: "these mentioned by name were princes in their families: and their fathers' houses increased greatly" (1Ch 4:38). Jeshohaiah's single occurrence places him among that company of recognized Simeonite heads.
