Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah
on 1 Chronicles 4:34-43
The leaders named here took their growing families to the entrance of Gedor in search of pasture. In the days of Hezekiah they destroyed the Hamites who had lived there. Five hundred went on to Mount Seir and struck down the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Meshobab, and Jamlech,.... These, with those that follow to the end of 1Ch 4:37 were famous men in the tribe of Simeon, of rank and dignity, and eminent for courage and valour, as the latter part of the chapter testifies, though they are nowhere else taken notice of. Jamlech, as Fabritius (k) observes, is not very different from Jamblichus, the name of a famous Platonic philosopher. (k) Bibliothec. Gr. l. 4. c. 28. p. 294.
