Jeshua is mentioned briefly in 2 Chronicles as a Levite who served during the reign of King Hezekiah. He was one of the Levites appointed to distribute the offerings and tithes to his fellow Levites in their cities. This distribution was part of Hezekiah's reforms to restore and strengthen the worship practices in Judah. The mention of Jeshua in this context highlights the important role of the Levites in managing the temple's resources and supporting the religious life of the community.
