Smith's Bible Dictionary by William Smith (1863)

Jehosh’ua (whose help is Jehovah; Help of Jehovah or saviour). In this form is given the name of Joshua in Num 13:16. Once more only the name appears, -- as Jehosh’uah.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

jē̇-hosh´ū̇-a (יהושׁע, yehōshua, “Yahweh is deliverance,” or “is opulence”): The usual Hebrew form of the name “Joshua”; it occurs in the King James Version of Num 13:16 (the American Standard Revised Version “Hoshea”); and in some editions of the King James Version in 1Ch 7:27, where others have the form “Jehoshuah” (h being wrongly added at the end). See JOSHUA, SON OF NUN.
