1 Chronicles 8
1. The sons and chief men of Benjamin
33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan














Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah
The name "Ahaz" in Hebrew means "he has grasped" or "he has taken hold." This name is significant in the context of the lineage of Benjamin, as it suggests a sense of possession or control, which can be seen as a reflection of God's sovereignty over the lineage of His people. Ahaz's role as a father indicates the continuation of a family line, which is crucial in the biblical narrative for the fulfillment of God's promises. "Jehoaddah" means "Yahweh has adorned," highlighting the divine favor and blessing upon this lineage. The mention of Jehoaddah signifies the ongoing faithfulness of God in adorning His people with His presence and purpose.

Jehoaddah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri
The name "Alemeth" can be translated as "covering" or "concealment," which may symbolize God's protection over His people. In the historical context, Alemeth is also a Levitical city, indicating a place of refuge and sanctuary. "Azmaveth" means "strong as death," reflecting the strength and resilience that God imparts to His people. This name may also be associated with a place near Jerusalem, suggesting a connection to the heart of Israel's worship and governance. "Zimri" means "my music" or "my praise," which can be seen as a reminder of the importance of worship and praise in the life of God's people. The lineage through Jehoaddah emphasizes the diverse roles and characteristics that God cultivates within His people for His purposes.

and Zimri was the father of Moza
The continuation of the lineage through "Zimri" to "Moza" underscores the importance of generational faithfulness. "Moza" means "departure" or "going forth," which can be interpreted as a call to action or mission. This name suggests a forward movement, a departure from the past into the future that God has prepared. In the broader biblical narrative, this reflects the journey of faith that each generation is called to undertake, trusting in God's guidance and provision. The mention of Moza in this genealogical record serves as a reminder of the ongoing account of God's people, who are called to move forward in faith and obedience.

(36) Jehoadah.--Heb., Jeho'addah. 1Chronicles 9:42 gives Jarah (Heb., Ja'rah), a mistake arising from the common confusion of the Heb. d and r. The name there should be read, "Jo'addah," a contraction of the present form.

Alemeth.--In 1Chronicles 7:8 a son of Becher; in 1Chronicles 6:60 a Levitical town. The name is apparently personal here.

Verse 36. - Jehoadah. The parallel passage in next chapter (ver. 42) has Jarah; but some manuscripts have Jahdah (יַעְדָּה), which comes very near our Jehoadah (יִהועַדָּה). Zimri. It is possible that this Zimri may rightly be identified with the usurper Zimri of 1 Kings 16:9-20.
