It is referenced in <a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a>, which states, "Jokim, the men of Chozeba, Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-Lehem. These records are from ancient times." . This passage is part of a larger genealogical listing that traces the descendants of Judah, the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, and highlights the historical and familial connections within the tribe.<br><br>The name Chozeba is believed to mean "falsehood" or "deceit," though the exact etymology and significance of the name in the context of the biblical narrative remain subjects of scholarly discussion. The mention of Chozeba in the genealogical records suggests it was a settlement or community associated with the descendants of Judah, though specific details about its location and historical significance are sparse.<br><br>Chozeba's inclusion in the genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly for the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ are descended. The genealogies serve not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's covenantal promises to His people, tracing the lineage through which the Messiah would come.<br><br>The reference to the men of Chozeba, along with other figures such as Joash and Saraph, who "ruled in Moab," indicates a period of interaction and possibly influence or governance in the region of Moab. This suggests that the descendants of Judah had a presence or authority beyond the immediate borders of Israel, reflecting the broader historical and geopolitical dynamics of the time.<br><br>While Chozeba itself is not a focal point of major biblical events, its mention in the genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes of Israel and their movements throughout the ancient Near East. The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles serve as a testament to the enduring legacy of the tribe of Judah and its pivotal role in the unfolding of biblical history.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chozeba</span><p>men liers in wait<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Chozeba</span><p>(<a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a>) Perhaps the same as <a href="../a/achzib.htm">ACHZIB</a>.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(<a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a>), the same as Chezib and Achzib, a place in the lowlands of Judah (<a href="/genesis/38-5.htm">Genesis 38:5</a>; <a href="/joshua/15-44.htm">Joshua 15:44</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">CHOZEBA</span><p>ko-ze'-ba (kozebha', "deceitful"): Same as ACHZIB and CHEZIB (which see).<p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/various/the_testaments_of_the_twelve_patriarchs/iv_the_testament_of_judah_concerning.htm"><span class="l">The Testament of Judah Concerning Fortitude, and Love of Money <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> c. 12; also Chezib (Genesis 38:5), <b>Chozeba</b> (1 Chronicles 4:22), and Achzib (Joshua<br> 15:44; Micah 1:14), all of which are probably different names for the same <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../iv the testament of judah concerning.htm</font><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/c/chozeba.htm"><span class="l"><b>Chozeba</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> Standard Bible Encyclopedia. <b>CHOZEBA</b>. ko-ze'-ba (kozebha', "deceitful"): Same as<br> ACHZIB and CHEZIB (which see).
