Joel. [Jo'el]


1 . Eldest son of Samuel: he and his brother Abiah acted as judges; their corrupt practices were the plea upon which Israel demanded a king. 1 Sam. 8: 2; 1 Chr. 6: 33; 1 Chr. 15: 17. Apparently Joel is called VASHNI in 1 Chr. 6: 28; but it is possible that the word Joel has dropped out: the passage would then read "the firstborn Joel, and 'the second' Abiah," as in the R.V.


2. Prince in the tribe of Simeon. 1 Chr. 4: 35.


3. A Reubenite, father of Shemaiah, or Shema. 1 Chr. 5: 4, 8.

5. Son of Azariah, a Kohathite. 1 Chr. 6: 36.


6. Son of Izrahiah, a descendant of Issachar. 1 Chr. 7: 3.


7. One of David's mighty men. 1 Chr. 11: 38.


8. A chief of the sons of Gershom. 1 Chr. 15: 7, 11.


9. Son of Jehieli, and descendant of Laadan, a Gershonite. 1 Chr. 23: 8; 1 Chr. 26: 22.


10. Son of Pedaiah, of the tribe of Manasseh. 1 Chr. 27: 20.


11. Son of Azariah, a Kohathite of Hezekiah's time. 2 Chr. 29: 12.
