Jehubbah
יְהֻבָּה/jeh-HUB-uh/
“Protected, or hidden”
Summary
A descendant of Asher through Shamer (Shomer), mentioned only once in Scripture as one of the sons of Shamer in the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher.
☩Identity and Genealogy
Jehubbah was one of the sons of Shamer (also called Shomer), of the tribe of Asher (1 Chronicles 7:34). His name presents some textual difficulties, as the marginal reading suggests an alternative form 'and Hubbah' (וְחֻבָּה), which would mean 'hidden.' The Septuagint renders the name as Oba or Iaba, while the Vulgate has Haba. He lived during the period of the judges, approximately 1618 B.C.
