Josheb-Basshebeth
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
JOSHEB-BASSHEBETH occurs in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2 Samuel 23:8 as a proper name in place of the meaningless ‘that sat in the seat’ of the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . But the text is corrupt, and the original name Jashobeam must be restored from the parallel passage, 2 Chronicles 11:11 , just as the ‘Hachmonite’ must be substituted for the ‘Tahchemonite.’
