The meaning of Jeush in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
je'-ush (ye'ush, probably "he protects," "he comes to help"; see HPN, 109; Kethibh is ye'ish, in Genesis 36:5, Genesis 36:14; I Chronicles 7:10):
(1) A "son" of Esau (Genesis 36:5, Genesis 36:14, Genesis 36:18; I Chronicles 1:35). "The name is thought by some to be identical with that, of an Arabian lion-god Yagut ...., meaning 'helper,' whose antiquity is vouched for by inscriptions of Thamud" (Skinner, Gen, 432).
(2) A Benjamite (I Chronicles 7:10), but probably a Zebulunite. See Curtis, Chronicles, 145 ff.
(3) A descendant of King Saul, the King James Version "Jehush" (I Chronicles 8:39).
(4) A Gershonite Levite (I Chronicles 23:10-11).
(5) A son of King Rehoboam (II Chronicles 11:19).
