JOZACAR. In 2 Kings 12:21 it is said that Jozacar ben-Shimeath and Jehozabad ben-Shomer murdered Joash. The parallel 2 Chronicles 24:26 makes it clear that there was but one murderer named, and that his name has been duplicated. Jozacar and Zechariah have the same meaning, ‘Jahweb remembers.’

W. F. Cobb.
