JASHOBEAM

(Heb. yāšoḇʿām)

1. A Hachmonite; one of David’s elite class of warriors and the chief of the Three (1 Chr. 11:11). Jashobeam apparently killed 300 men with his own sword in battle. Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite (2 Sam. 23:8), who killed 800 men with his own spear, may be the same person. The LXX renders both as Ishbosheth, suggesting that Ishbaal (“man of Baal”) may have been the original form of the name.

2. One of David’s commanders who was responsible for 24 thousand men in the first month of rotating leadership (1 Chr. 27:2-3); the son of Zabdiel and a descendant of Perez. He could be the same person as 1 above.

3. A Korahite who defected from Saul’s army to join David at Ziklag (1 Chr. 12:7). He was a great archer and sling thrower (1 Chr. 12:6).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
