Josheb-Basshebeth
Josheb-Basshebeth
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.

Josheb-Basshebeth
jo-sheb-ba-shebeth ( , yoshebh 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).
