Old Testament
Jerusha
Jerusha was the daughter of Zadok and the mother of King Jotham of Judah.
Jerusha is identified in 2 Kings 15:33 and 2 Chronicles 27:1 as the wife of King Uzziah and the mother of King Jotham. Her name, meaning possession or inheritance, is mentioned solely to establish the royal lineage of her son. Her inclusion in the biblical record serves to document the genealogical succession of the Davidic kings.
