About Jeush
Jeush was one of the sons of Esau, the twin brother of Israel (or 'Jacob'), and Esau's wife Oholibamah, as recorded in Gen.36.5,14 and 1Ch.1.35. He is listed among the chiefs of Edom who descended from Esau. As a grandson of Isaac and great-grandson of Abraham, Jeush was part of the Edomite clan that settled in the region of Seir.
