je-hosh'-e-ba, je-ho-she'-ba (yehoshebha‘, "Yahweh is an oath"): Called "Jehoshabeath" in 2Ch 22:11; daughter of Jehoram king of Judah, possibly by a wife other than Athaliah (2Ki 11:2). According to 2Ch 22:11, she was the wife of Jehoiada, the priest. She hid Jehoash, the young son of King Ahaziah, and so saved his life from Queen Athaliah.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(Jehovah's oath) daughter of Joram king of Israel, and wife of jehoiada the high priest (2 Kings 11:2). Her name in the Chronicles is given JEHOSHABEATH. (B.C. 882) As she is called (2 Kings 11:2). "the daughter of Joram, sister of Ahaziah," it has been conjectured that she was the daughter, not of Athaliah, but of Joram by another wife.
