Isaiah
Jehovah has saved, Jehovah's help
Strong's #H3470, #G2268

The King James New Testament spelling of Isaiah is Esaias (Matthew 3:3, 4:14, 8:17, 12:17, etc.). One of the Bible's major prophets, Isaiah served during the reigns Azariah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He foretold the coming and suffering of Jesus (Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12).

Jesus began his earthly ministry by quoting Isaiah 61's words related to the Biblical year of Jubilee (Luke 4:16 - 21).

Man of shame
Strong's #H378

Ishbosheth, also called Eshbaal (1Chronicles 8:33, 9:39), was one of King Saul's son. He was the only surviving heir to the throne after his father and three brothers were killed in battle on Mount Gilboa.

Abner, Saul's general, works to make Ishbosheth ruler of all of Israel's tribes (2Samuel 2:8 - 9) except Judah, possibly during a period of five to five and one half years. Ishbosheth ultimately reigns over Israel for two years (verse 10), his reign cut short when two of his captains murder him in bed (4:1 - 7). After his death David is made king over a united Israel.
