Jeush יְעוּשׁ
Son of King Rehoboam and Mahalath
Who is Jeush in the Bible?
Jeush was a son of King Rehoboam and his wife Mahalath, mentioned in 2 Chronicles 11:19. Rehoboam, who was the son of Solomon, had multiple wives and children, and Jeush was among the sons born to him during his reign over Judah. Mahalath, Jeush's mother, came from a distinguished lineage as the daughter of Jerimoth and granddaughter of David's brother Eliab. While Jeush is not prominently featured in biblical narratives beyond his genealogical record, his mention underscores the royal succession and family structure of the Judahite monarchy in the early divided kingdom period.
