The name Meshobab means "restorer" or "one who returns," which may imply a role or characteristic attributed to him or his lineage. The Simeonites were known for their role in the conquest of Canaan and their eventual integration into the territory of Judah. This integration is significant as it reflects the fulfillment of Jacob's prophecy in <a href="/genesis/49-7.htm">Genesis 49:7</a>, where Simeon and Levi are scattered in Israel. Meshobab's mention here highlights the continuity of the Simeonite lineage despite their dispersion.<p><b>Jamlech</b><br>Jamlech is another descendant of Simeon, and his name means "he will reign" or "whom God makes king." This name may reflect the hope or expectation of leadership within his family or tribe. The Simeonites, although not as prominent as other tribes, played a role in the military campaigns and settlement patterns in the southern part of Israel. The mention of Jamlech underscores the diverse roles and contributions of the Simeonites in Israel's history, despite their relatively small size and influence compared to other tribes.<p><b>Joshah son of Amaziah</b><br>Joshah, identified as the son of Amaziah, is part of the genealogical record of the Simeonites. The name Joshah means "Jehovah gives" or "whom Jehovah bestows," indicating a recognition of divine providence in his life or family. Amaziah, meaning "strength of the Lord," suggests a lineage that values divine strength and support. This connection to Amaziah may also imply a historical or familial significance, as names often carried meanings that reflected personal or communal experiences. The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to affirm the identity and heritage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing their connection to God's promises and covenant.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/meshobab.htm">Meshobab</a></b><br>A descendant of Simeon, Meshobab is listed among the leaders of the Simeonite families.

They were thirteen princes of the tribe of Simeon who led the movement, possibly representing respectively the "thirteen cities" given above. The movement took place in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah (B.C. 726-698). That the house of their fathers had increased greatly is probably mentioned as some explanation of the cause of the movement. Though in one name out of the thirteen (ver. 35) the ancestors are traced to the third generation, and in another (ver. 37) to the fifth, no name is reached of the sons of Simeon enumerated in vers. 24-27. These mentioned by names is to be translated strictly <span class="accented">these coming by names</span>; and it is open to question whether the word of ver. 41, <span class="hebrew">הכְּתוּבִים</span>, be not omitted after <span class="hebrew">הַבָּאִים</span>; so that the passage would read, "These that came, written by names, were princes in their families." Of the names, twenty-two in all, found in these verses, just so much is known as is here written. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Meshobab,</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמְשׁוֹבָ֣ב</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mə·šō·w·ḇāḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4877.htm">Strong's 4877: </a> </span><span class="str2">Meshobab -- a Simeonite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Jamlech,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיַמְלֵ֔ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yam·lêḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3230.htm">Strong's 3230: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jamlech -- a Simeonite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">Joshah</span><br /><span class="heb">וְיוֹשָׁ֖ה</span> <span class="translit">(wə·yō·wō·šāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3144.htm">Strong's 3144: </a> </span><span class="str2">Joshah -- a Simeonite</span><br /><br /><span class="word">son</span><br /><span class="heb">בֶּן־</span> <span class="translit">(ben-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> </span><span class="str2">A son</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Amaziah,</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲמַצְיָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·maṣ·yāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_558.htm">Strong's 558: </a> </span><span class="str2">Amaziah -- 'Yah is mighty', the name of several Israelites</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">1 Chronicles 4:34 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/1_chronicles/4-34.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 4:34 Meshobab and Jamlech and Joshah the son (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/4-33.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 4:33"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 4:33" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/4-35.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 4:35"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 4:35" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
