Jeshimon
(a wilderness), a name which occurs in (Numbers 21:20) and Numb 23:28 In designating the
position of Pisgah and Peor; both described as “facing the Jeshimon.” Perhaps the dreary, barren
waste of hills lying immediately on the west of the Dead Sea.
Jeshishai
(descended from an old man), one of the ancestors of the Gadites who dwelt in Gilead. (1
Chronicles 5:14)
Jeshohaiah
(whom Jehovah casts down), a chief of the Simeonites, descended from Shimei. (1 Chronicles
4:36) (B.C. about 711.)
Jeshua
(whom Jehovah helps), one of the towns reinhabited by the people of Judah after the return
from captivity. (Nehemiah 11:26) It is not mentioned elsewhere.
(a saviour), another form of the name of Joshua of Jesus.
•Joshua the son of Nun. (Nehemiah 8:17) [Joshua]
•A priest in the reign of David, to whom the nine course fell by David, to whom the ninth course
fell by lot. (1 Chronicles 24:11) (B.C. 1014.)
•One of the Levites in the reign of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 31:15) (B.C. 726.)
•Son of Jehozadak, first high priest after the Babylonish captivity, B.C. 536. Jeshua was probably
born in Babylon, whither his father Jehozadak had been taken captive while young. (1 Chronicles
6:15) Authorized Version. He came up from Babylon in the first year of Cyrus, with Zerubbabel,
and took a leading part with him in the rebuilding of the temple and the restoration of the Jewish
commonwealth. The two prophecies concerning him in (Zechariah 3:1) ... and Zech 6:9-15 Point
him out as an eminent type of Christ.
•Head of a Levitical house, one of those which returned from the Babylonish captivity. (Ezra 2:40;
3:9; Nehemiah 3:19; 8:7; 9:4,5; 12:8) etc.
•A branch of the family of Pahath-moab, one of the chief families, probably, of the tribe of Judah.

Jeshuah
a priest in the reign of David, (1 Chronicles 24:11) the same as Jeshua, No. 2. (B.C. 1014.)
Jeshurun
(supremely happy), and once by mistake in Authorized Version Jesurun, (Isaiah 44:2) a
symbolical name for Israel in (32:15; 33:5,26; Isaiah 44:2) It is most probably derived from a root
signifying “to be blessed.” With the intensive termination Jeshurun would then denote Israel as
supremely happy or prosperous, and to this signification the context in (32:15) points.
Jesiah
(whom Jehovah lends).
•A Korhite, one of the mighty men who joined David’s standard at Ziklag. (1 Chronicles 12:6)
(B.C. 1055.)
•The second son of Uzziel, the son of Kohath. (1 Chronicles 23:20)

711.)
