Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:11
(11) Jeshuah.—Heb., Yĕ ?shûa’; in Greek, Ἰ ?çóïῦ, Jesus (Ezra 2:2). The name only occurs in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The Syriac and Arabic read “Elisha” here. Shecaniah.—1 Chronicles 3:21. This was a common name in the post-exilic age (Iah is a neighbour).
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 24:11
11. Jeshua] This is the Hebrew name expressed by Ἰ ?çóïῦ ?ò in Greek, and by “Jesus” in English. The highpriest under whom the Temple was built bore this name according to Ezra 3:2; Ezra 5:2. Shecaniah] So Nehemiah 12:3; but ib. Nehemiah 10:4, Nehemiah 12:14 “Shebaniah.” The confusion of B and C is very easy in Hebrew.
