Shearjashub, whose name is of Hebrew origin meaning “the remnant shall return,” is a figure briefly mentioned in the context of the prophetic writings of Isaiah. He is identified as the son of the prophet Isaiah (2 Nephi 17:3). The record indicates a specific instance when the Lord instructed Isaiah to take Shearjashub with him to meet Ahaz, the king of Judah, by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the fuller’s field.

The presence of Shearjashub during this divinely appointed meeting is considered by scholars and theologians to carry symbolic significance. His name itself is emblematic, signifying the promise that although the kingdom of Judah would face destruction and the people would be scattered, a remnant would eventually return and be restored. This concept is interwoven with the larger theme of the gathering and restoration of Israel, a fundamental subject within the writings of Isaiah. As the Lord’s people, both Shearjashub and his brother, Maher-shalal-hash-baz, through their names and births, serve as tangible signs and portents to the people of their time, encapsulating the Lord’s messages and intentions (2 Nephi 18:18). Shearjashub’s mentioned role, albeit small, contributes to the tapestry of prophetic imagery utilized by Isaiah to convey divine messages to the House of Israel.
