Dictionary

Holman Bible Dictionary - Jehosheba
(jih hahssh' ih buh) Personal name meaning, “Yahweh is fullness or fortune.” Sister of King Ahaziah who, after his death, took young Joash and protected him from Queen Athaliah so Athaliah could not have him killed as she did the other royal children (2 Kings 11:2 ). Her name is spelled Jehoshabeath in 2 Chronicles 22:11 .
Fausset's Bible Dictionary - Jehosheba
("Jehovah's oath, i.e. devoted to Him".) Daughter of king Joram of Israel. Jehoiada's wife. So Elisheba (God's oath) was Aaron's wife, Elizabeth Zacharias'. (See JEHOIADA.) Athaliah is not specified as her mother, but this may be due to the sacred writer's abhorrence of her name. Possibly her mother may have been another wife of Joram (2 Kings 11:2). Jehosheba is the only instance of a princess marrying the high priest. Her position enabled her through God's providence to rescue the little prince Joash, and hide him and his nurse in a bedchamber in the palace, afterward in the temple (2 Chronicles 22:11; 2 Chronicles 23:11; 2 Kings 11:2-3), where he was brought up with her sons, who assisted at his coronation. Zechariah, Jehoiada's successor, one of them, was afterward slain, a martyr for the truth. (See ZECHARIAH.)
