Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
SHEAR-JASHUB (‘a remnant shall return,’ Isaiah 7:3 ). A symbolical name given to a son of Isaiah to signify the return of the remnant to God after the punishment at the hands of the Assyrians. See Isaiah 8:18 , Isaiah 10:20-21 . and cf. Isaiah 7:14 , Isaiah 8:1-4 , and art. Isaiah, p. 387 b .
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
She'ar-ja'shub (literally, a remnant shall return). The symbolical name of the son of Isaiah, the prophet. Isaiah 7:3.
American Tract Society Bible Dictionary [3]
The remnant shall return, Isaiah 7:3 10:21 , the name of one of Isaiah's sons; supposed to have had a prophetic meaning, like Mather-shalal-hash-baz.
Easton's Bible Dictionary [4]
Isaiah 7:3
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [5]
(Heb. Shear' Yashub', שְׁאִר וָשׁוּב a remnant shall return; Sept. ὁ καταλειφθεὶς Ι᾿ασούβ ), son of the prophet Isaiah, who accompanied his father when he proceeded: to deliver to king Ahaz the celebrated prophecy contained in Isaiah 7 (see Isaiah 7:3). B.C. cir. 735. As the sons of Isaiah sometimes stood for signs in Israel (Isaiah 8:18), and the name of Maher-shalal-hash-baz was given to one of them by way of prophetic intimation, it has been conjectured that the somewhat remarkable name of Shear-jashub intimated that the people who had then retired within the walls of Jerusalem should return in peace to their fields and villages (comp. Isaiah 10:20-22). Fairbairn's theory that these events occurred only in visions (On Prophecy, 1, 5, 2) is in violatioin of the plain import of the language.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [6]
shē - ar - jā´shub or jash´ub ( ישׁוּב שׁאר , she'ar yāshūbh , "a remnant shall return"; Septuagint ho kataleiphtheı́s Iasoúb ): The son of Isaiah, who accompanied him when he set out to meet Ahaz ( Isaiah 7:3 ). The name like that of other children of prophets (compare "Immanuel," "Mahershalal-hash-baz," "Lo-ruhamah," etc.) is symbolic of a message which the prophet wishes to emphasize. Thus Isaiah uses the very words she'ar yashubh to express his oft-repeated statement that a remnant of Israel will return to Yahweh (Isaiah 10:21 ).
Kitto's Popular Cyclopedia of Biblial Literature [7]
She´ar-Ja´shub (the remnant shall return), son of the prophet Isaiah, who accompanied his father when he proceeded to deliver to King Ahaz the celebrated prophecy contained in Isaiah 7 (see ). As the sons of Isaiah sometimes stood for signs in Israel , and the name of Maher-shalal-hash-baz was given to one of them by way of prophetic intimation, it has been conjectured that the somewhat remarkable name of Shear-jashub intimated that the people who had then retired within the walls of Jerusalem should return in peace to their fields and villages. But we cannot build on this, as it is not distinctly stated that the name of Shear-jashub was chosen, like that of his brother, with any prophetic intention.
