Jehosh'eba. (Jehovah's oath). Daughter of Joram, king of Israel, and wife of Jehoiada, the high priest. 2 Kings 11:2. Her name in the Chronicles is given as Jehoshabeath. (B.C. 882). As she is called, 2 Kings 11:2, "the daughter of Joram, sister of Ahaziah," it has been conjectured that she was the daughter, not of Athaliah, but of Joram, by another wife. She is the only recorded instance of the marriage, of a princess of the royal house, with a high priest.
