Josaba

JOH-suh-buh

Who is Josaba?

Josaba is an alternate spelling of Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram and sister of Ahaziah, who saved the infant Joash by hiding him from Athaliah so he was not killed with the other royal sons (2 Kings 11:2). The KJV spells her name Jehosheba and Jehoshabeath; the exact form Josaba appears only in some other translations.
