When Shaul died
The name "Shaul" is the Hebrew equivalent of "Saul," meaning "asked for" or "prayed for." This name is significant in the biblical narrative, as it often denotes a person who was desired or requested by the people. Shaul's death marks a transition in leadership, a common theme in the Chronicles, which emphasizes the continuity of God's plan through successive generations. The death of a leader often signifies a period of uncertainty and change, yet it also provides an opportunity for God's providence to manifest through new leadership.

Baal-hanan
The name "Baal-hanan" means "Baal is gracious" or "the Lord is gracious." The use of "Baal" in his name reflects the cultural and religious influences of the time, as Baal was a common deity worshiped in the region. However, in the context of the Chronicles, it is important to understand that names incorporating "Baal" do not necessarily indicate idolatry but rather reflect the linguistic and cultural milieu. Baal-hanan's rise to power suggests a divine grace or favor, aligning with the biblical theme that God raises leaders according to His purpose.

son of Achbor
"Achbor" means "mouse" in Hebrew, a name that might seem insignificant or humble. Yet, in the biblical narrative, God often chooses individuals from humble or unexpected backgrounds to fulfill His purposes. The mention of Achbor highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the Chronicles, as it traces the genealogies and histories of the people of Israel. This emphasis on ancestry underscores the continuity of God's covenant with His people.

reigned in his place
The phrase "reigned in his place" indicates the succession of leadership, a critical aspect of maintaining order and stability in the biblical narrative. The Chronicles often focus on the legitimacy and divine sanction of rulers, emphasizing that leadership is established by God's will. This transition of power serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over nations and leaders, reinforcing the belief that all authority is ultimately derived from Him. The orderly succession also reflects the chronicler's concern with the proper and divinely ordained governance of God's people.

(49) Baal-hanan.--Baal bestowed. (Comp. "Johanan," Iahweh bestowed; and "Hananiah," and "Hannibal.") This name and that of Hadad indicate the polytheism of ancient Edom.
