Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Jashen, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament writings. Usage: The name Jashen appears in the context of genealogical records and lists of warriors in the Old Testament. Context: Jashen is mentioned in the context of David's mighty warriors. In 2 Samuel 23:32, Jashen is listed as the father of one of David's mighty men, Jonathan. The passage reads: "Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan." This reference is part of a larger list detailing the valiant men who served King David, highlighting their bravery and loyalty. The parallel account in 1 Chronicles 11:34 refers to "the sons of Hashem the Gizonite," which some scholars suggest may be a textual variation or scribal error, leading to different interpretations of the name and its lineage. The mention of Jashen in these genealogical records underscores the importance of familial ties and the valor of those associated with King David's reign.
