Hashem

הָשֵׁם/HAY-shem/

“Possibly "fat" or "wealthy"”

Summary

Hashem was a Gizonite whose sons were among David's mighty warriors, apparently the same person called Jashen in the parallel account.

☩Father of Mighty Men

Hashem the Gizonite is listed among the fathers of David's elite warriors in the Chronicles account. By comparing 1 Chronicles 11:34 with 2 Samuel 23:32, he appears to be the same person as Jashen, with the name variation due to transcription differences. The designation "Gizonite" indicates his hometown, though the exact location of Gizon is unknown.
