Jonam is a person mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke. He is the son of Eliakim and the father of Joseph (not Mary's husband, but another Joseph in the lineage). Little is known about his life beyond his place in the family register that connects Jesus to King David and further back to Adam.

The Promise of David's Eternal Throne
Jonah's place in the genealogy points back to God's covenant with David that his throne would endure forever, a promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
12When your days are done and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.
כִּ֣י ׀ יִמְלְא֣וּ יָמֶ֗יךָ וְשָֽׁכַבְתָּ֙ אֶת־אֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ וַהֲקִימֹתִ֤י אֶֽת־זַרְעֲךָ֙ אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֵצֵ֖א מִמֵּעֶ֑יךָ וַהֲכִינֹתִ֖י אֶת־מַמְלַכְתּֽוֹ׃
13He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
ה֥וּא יִבְנֶה־בַּ֖יִת לִשְׁמִ֑י וְכֹנַנְתִּ֛י אֶת־כִּסֵּ֥א מַמְלַכְתּ֖וֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
14I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with the rod of men, with blows inflicted by human hands.
אֲנִי֙ אֶהְיֶה־לּ֣וֹ לְאָ֔ב וְה֖וּא יִהְיֶה־לִּ֣י לְבֵ֑ן אֲשֶׁר֙ בְּהַ֣עֲוֺת֔וֹ וְהֹֽכַחְתִּיו֙ בְּשֵׁ֣בֶט אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וּבְנִגְעֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י אָדָֽם׃
15But my steadfast love will never depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
וְחַסְדִּ֖י לֹא־יָס֣וּר מִמֶּ֑נּוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר הֲסִרֹ֙תִי֙ מֵעִ֣ם שָׁא֔וּל אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֲסִרֹ֖תִי מִלְּפָנֶֽיךָ׃
16Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before you; your throne will be established forever.'"
וְנֶאְמַ֨ן בֵּיתְךָ֧ וּמַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ֛ עַד־עוֹלָ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כִּֽסְאֲךָ֔ יִהְיֶ֥ה נָכ֖וֹן עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
