Jehoahaz, Joahaz [Jēhō'ahăz]—jehovah upholds, hath laid hold or the lord that sees.
- A son and successor of Jehu and father of Joash who reigned for seven years (2 Kings 10:35; 13; 14; 2 Chron. 25:17, 25). We know little of this king of Israel apart from the length of his reign and the low estate of his kingdom owing to Syrian aggression.
- The son and successor of King Jehoram and father of King Joash, of Judah (2 Chron. 21:17; 25:23). Called Ahaziah.
- A son of Josiah who was deposed by Pharaoh-nechoh and who only reigned for three months (2 Kings 23:30-34; 2 Chron. 36:1-4). Also called Shallum (1 Chron. 3:15).
