Josab
Josab was the son of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. Together with his father he came from Galgala to Jerusalem to visit Hezekiah king of Judah in the twentieth year of that king's reign.
When Hezekiah summoned the prophets and the people, Josab sat at the king's right hand with Micaiah and others. Isaiah later narrated the vision he had seen to Hezekiah, to Josab, and to the other prophets. Josab and Micaiah caused the people to depart so they would not hear the account, after which Isaiah again told the vision to Hezekiah, Josab, Micaiah and the remaining prophets.
