Ishpan
The name "Ishpan" is of Hebrew origin, and while not much is known about this individual specifically, the name itself can be translated to mean "hidden" or "concealed." In the context of genealogies, names like Ishpan remind us of the countless individuals who played roles in the unfolding account of God's people, even if their specific deeds are not recorded. This highlights the biblical theme that every person, regardless of their prominence, has a place in God's plan. It serves as an encouragement that God values each of us, even when we feel hidden or unnoticed.

Eber
"Eber" is a significant name in the Hebrew lineage, often associated with the term "Hebrew," which is derived from the same root. Eber is an ancestor of Abraham, and his name is linked to the idea of crossing over or passing through, which can symbolize transition and movement in faith. This connection to Abraham, the father of faith, underscores the importance of heritage and the continuity of God's promises through generations. It reminds believers of their spiritual heritage and the call to live by faith, crossing over from the old life to the new in Christ.

Eliel
The name "Eliel" means "My God is God" or "God is my God," reflecting a deep personal relationship with the divine. In the context of the Chronicles, which often emphasize the importance of worship and devotion to God, Eliel's name serves as a testament to the centrality of God in the lives of His people. It is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, and by extension, between God and all believers. This name encourages Christians to affirm their faith and trust in God, acknowledging Him as the ultimate authority and source of life.

(22-25) Eleven sons of Shashak (1Chronicles 8:14), followed by six sons of Jeroham (Jeremoth, 1Chronicles 8:14) in 1Chronicles 8:26-27. The recurrence of the same names in the five groups is noticeable. Thus, a Zichri appears among the sons of Shimei (1Chronicles 8:19), among the sons of Shashak (1Chronicles 8:23), and among the sons of Jeroham (1Chronicles 8:27). Of course the name may have been thus frequent among the Benjamite clans dwelling in Jerusalem. But it is possible to see in the fact an indication that, at the time when the present register was framed, some of these houses were no longer able to trace their pedigrees with certainty to one famous name rather than another. . . .
