Shear-jashub, meaning "a remnant shall return," was the son of the prophet Isaiah and accompanied his father to meet King Ahaz.
Shear-jashub, meaning 'a remnant shall return,' was the son of the prophet Isaiah, whose name served as a living prophetic sign when Isaiah brought him to meet King Ahaz at the conduit of the upper pool during the Syro-Ephraimite crisis (Isaiah 7:3). The child's name embodied the dual prophetic message of judgment—exile was coming—and hope—a faithful remnant would return—that characterized Isaiah's ministry.
