James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Josheb-Basshebeth


Subjects in this Topic:

JOSHEB-BASSHEBETH occurs in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2Sa_23:8 as a proper name in place of the meaningless ‘that sat in the seat’ of the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . But the text is corrupt, and the original name Jashobeam must be restored from the parallel passage, 2Ch_11:11, just as the ‘Hachmonite’ must be substituted for the ‘Tahchemonite.’
