Josheb-Basshebeth

VIEW:37 DATA:01-04-2020

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.’
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909

jō-sheb-ba-shē?beth (בּשּבת ישׁב, yōshēbh ba-shebheth): This proper name in the Revised Version (British and American) takes the place of the translation ?that sat in the seat? in the King James Version (2Sa_23:8). The phrase so rendered is meaningless. The text has evidently suffered corruption. There can be no doubt that a proper name is intended. This, according to the parallel passage in 1Ch_11:11, should be Jashobeam. Some scholars think that this also is a corruption, and by a process of emendation arrive at ?Eshbaal? as the correct name (Driver, Hebrew Text of S; SBOT, at the place).
