Ammiel the sixth
The name "Ammiel" means "people of God" in Hebrew. This name reflects a deep connection to the community of believers and the covenant relationship with God. The position of "the sixth" son signifies a place within a divinely ordered family structure, emphasizing the importance of each member in God's plan. Historically, names in the Bible often carried significant meaning, indicating the character or destiny of the individual. Ammiel's inclusion in this list highlights the continuity of God's blessing through generations.

Issachar the seventh
"Issachar" means "there is recompense" or "reward" in Hebrew. The number seven often symbolizes completeness or perfection in the Bible, suggesting that Issachar's position as the seventh son may represent a sense of divine fulfillment or completion. This aligns with the biblical theme of God rewarding faithfulness and obedience. The tribe of Issachar was known for its wisdom and understanding of the times, as seen in other scriptural references, which may also reflect the character of this individual.

Peullethai the eighth
The name "Peullethai" is less common, but it can be associated with the idea of "work" or "activity" in Hebrew. The number eight often signifies new beginnings or a new order in biblical numerology. Peullethai being the eighth son could symbolize a fresh start or a new phase in the family's legacy. This reflects the biblical principle that God continually renews and revitalizes His people, bringing about new opportunities and blessings.

for God blessed him
This phrase underscores the central theme of divine favor and blessing. The Hebrew root for "blessed" is "barak," which conveys the idea of kneeling or giving praise, as well as bestowing prosperity and success. The blessing of God is a recurring motif throughout Scripture, signifying His approval, provision, and protection. In the context of 1 Chronicles, this blessing is not just material but also spiritual, ensuring the continuation of God's promises through the lineage of His people. The acknowledgment that "God blessed him" serves as a reminder of the source of all blessings and the importance of living in accordance with God's will to receive His favor.

(5) For God blessed him.--Comp. 1Chronicles 13:14, where it is said, "God blessed the house of Obed-edom." His sons' names are all testimonies to his thankful recognition of the Divine favour. The firstborn is Shemaiah, Jah hath heard (viz.) the prayer for offspring; Jehozabad, Jah hath bestowed, is the second; Joah, Jah is a kinsman, the third; Sacar, reward (Genesis 15:1), is the fourth; Nethaneel, or Nathanael (Dositheus, Dorotheus, Deusdedit) God hath given, the fifth; Ammiel, a kinsman is God, the sixth; the seventh, Issachar, there is a reward; the eighth, Peulthai (Heb., P?ull?thai), work or recompense of Jah.
