Zibiah

Zibiah, or Sibia, (Hebrew: צִבְיָה‬; Tsivyah, "gazelle"[1]) was the consort of King Ahaziah of Judah, and the mother of King Jehoash of Judah.[2] She was from Beersheba.[2] She is mentioned only in 2 Kings 12:1 and 2 Chronicles 24:1. The biblical references give no information about her other than her association with Beersheba and Joash.


Zibiah is also a Hebrew given name.
