The sons of Ulla:
Ulla is a lesser-known figure in the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. His mention here highlights the importance of family lineage in the chronicling of Israel's history. Genealogies served to establish tribal identities and inheritance rights, which were crucial in maintaining the social and religious order of ancient Israel. The inclusion of Ulla's sons in the record underscores the chronicler's intent to provide a comprehensive account of the descendants of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Arah,
Arah is listed as one of the sons of Ulla. The name Arah appears elsewhere in the Bible, notably in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin (Ezra 2:5; Nehemiah 7:10), though it is likely a different individual. Names were often repeated across tribes and families, reflecting common cultural or familial significance. The name Arah means "wayfarer" or "traveler," which may suggest a characteristic or hope associated with the child at birth.

Hanniel,
Hanniel, another son of Ulla, bears a name meaning "God is gracious." This name reflects a common practice in Israelite culture of incorporating the name of God (El) into personal names, signifying a relationship with or attribute of God. Hanniel is also the name of a prince of the tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 34:23), indicating that it was a name of some prominence and possibly suggesting a hope for leadership or divine favor.

and Rizia.
Rizia, the third son of Ulla, is a name that does not appear elsewhere in the biblical text, making it unique to this genealogy. The meaning of Rizia is less clear, but it may be related to words meaning "delight" or "pleasure." The inclusion of Rizia, like his brothers, serves to complete the record of Ulla's lineage, ensuring that even lesser-known families are remembered in the history of Israel. This reflects the biblical theme of God's concern for all His people, regardless of their prominence or obscurity.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Lineage
Understanding one's heritage can provide a sense of identity and purpose. The genealogies in the Bible remind us of God's faithfulness through generations.

Names with Meaning
Biblical names often carry significant meanings that reflect God's character or the individual's destiny. Reflect on the meaning of your own name and how it might relate to your spiritual journey.

God's Graciousness
Hanniel's name reminds us of God's grace. Consider how you have experienced God's grace in your life and how you can extend that grace to others.

Joy and Delight in God
Rizia's name suggests delight. Find joy in your relationship with God and seek to bring delight to others through acts of kindness and love.

The Role of Tribes and Community
The tribe of Asher was known for its blessings. Engage with your community of faith to experience and share in the blessings God provides.(39) The sons of Ulla.--Apparently Ulla is not connected with the foregoing genealogy. But he seems to be the same as Ara (1Chronicles 7:38). 'Ara' is a very curious form, and may be due to a copyist's eye having wandered to Be-era at the end of last verse; 'Ulla' is intelligible, and probably correct. If the identification be allowed, we get a complete concatenation from 1Chronicles 7:30-39.

Arah is in Hebrew quite different from Ara.

Verse 39. - Ulla. Whether in this verse we get to the eighth generation depends on who may be meant by Ulla. It is impossible to answer the question. The suggestion has been made that the name may, by some great error of copyists, stand for either Zophah's last son Beera, or, by happier conjecture, Jether's last son, Ara. But neither professes to be anything better than mere conjecture.
