Jeush יְעוּשׁ
A descendant of Eleasah from the tribe of Benjamin
Who is Jeush in the Bible?
Jeush was a descendant of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:39 as a son of Eleasah (also called Eshek). He appears in the genealogical record of Saul's family line during the period following the Babylonian exile, when the Benjamite clans were resettling in Jerusalem. Though little is known about Jeush individually, his inclusion in this genealogy demonstrates the careful documentation of tribal lineages in post-exilic Israel and preserves the continuity of Benjamin's family heritage after the exile.
