The sons of Eshek
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Eshek, a descendant of Benjamin. The name "Eshek" in Hebrew can mean "oppression" or "pressure," which may reflect the challenges or the societal conditions faced by his family. In the broader context of 1 Chronicles, genealogies serve to establish the continuity of God's people and His faithfulness to His promises. The mention of Eshek's sons highlights the importance of family and legacy in the biblical narrative.

Ulam was his firstborn
The name "Ulam" means "porch" or "vestibule" in Hebrew, suggesting a place of entrance or transition. As the firstborn, Ulam would have held a position of prominence and responsibility within the family. In ancient Israelite culture, the firstborn son often received a double portion of the inheritance and was expected to lead the family spiritually and materially. This reflects the biblical principle of primogeniture, which underscores the importance of leadership and stewardship in God's plan.

Jeush second
The name "Jeush" can be translated as "he will help" or "he will come to aid." This name may indicate a role of support or assistance within the family structure. In the biblical context, names often carried prophetic significance or reflected the character and destiny of the individual. Jeush's position as the second son suggests a role of support to his elder brother, Ulam, and highlights the theme of cooperation and unity within the family.

Eliphelet third
The name "Eliphelet" means "God is deliverance" or "God is my deliverance" in Hebrew. This name emphasizes reliance on divine intervention and protection. As the third son, Eliphelet's name serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and the deliverance He provides to His people. In the broader scriptural context, the theme of deliverance is central to the narrative of Israel, pointing to God's redemptive work throughout history.

(39) Eshek his brother--that is, the brother of Azel, and son of Eleasah (1Chronicles 8:37). The elder line is first developed.

Verse 39. - The name Ulam is found also among the descendants of Gilead, grandson of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 7:17).
