Meaning and etymology of the name Jashobeam

Jashobeam 
Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite named Zabdiel (1 Chronicles 27:2), is one of David's mighty men who came to him in Ziklag. In 1 Chronicles 11:11 he is noted as the spear-slinging slayer of three hundred men, and most scholars assume he is the same as Josheb-basshebeth, also known as Adino the Eznite, who killed eighth-hundred men at once time (2 Samuel 23:8).
The name Jashboam consists of two parts:
1) The first part of our name comes from the verb
 (shub), meaning to return. This very common verb (HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament says it's the twelfth most frequently occurring verb in the Old Testament) is used in the regular, expectable sense of physically turning around and going back to some place. But mostly it refers to a mental or spiritual returning, away from evil and vice, and towards virtue and God. Derivative
 (shuba) means retirement or withdrawal (Isaiah 30:15);
 (shiba) means restoration (Psalm 126:1);
 (shobab) means backsliding, and
 (teshuba) means answer.
The name Jashobeam starts with the letter yod, which makes the verb active: he will shub.
2) The second part of the name Jashobeam is the particle  ('am), which can be either of the following two:
