Footnotes
The name *Yeho'ash* (יְהוֹאָשׁ) means 'YHWH has given' or 'YHWH has bestowed' — a name laden with irony given that his integrity as king depended entirely on the priest Jehoiada's guidance. His mother *Zivyah* (צִבְיָה, 'gazelle') is named, grounding this royal account in the ordinary textures of family and place. The regnal formula is precise: forty years and a specific mentor-priest — the biography of a king whose goodness was derivative.
