From the Hebrew name ???????? (Hoshe'a) meaning "salvation", from the root ?????? (yasha'). In the Old Testament at Numbers 13:16, Moses gives the spy Hoshea the new name Yehoshu'a (see Joshua), which has a related origin.
Keeping this in view, what did hoshea?
Hoshea, a captain in Pekah's own army, placed himself at the head of the Assyrian party in Samaria; he then removed Pekah by assassination; Tiglath-pileser rewarded Hoshea by making him king over Ephraim (a name used here for the entire northern kingdom), which had been reduced to smaller dimensions.
Similarly, is Joshua an English name? ??????? – yēšūă which corresponds to the Greek spelling ?ησο?ς (Iesous), from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus.
