The best known is Joah, Recorder to King Hezekiah, first named at 2 Kings 18:18. The rest are listed below, most-mentioned first.
Where Scripture does not separate them
Joah, Parent of Eden son of Joah and Joah, Son of Zimmah and Father of Eden both first appear at 2 Chronicles 29:12. Scripture gives us little or nothing to tell them apart, so we do not pretend otherwise — treat them as separate only if your source does.
