The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada.
Onam is a descendant of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Israelite culture, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises through specific family lines. Shammai and Jada, as sons of Onam, are part of the broader narrative of the tribe of Judah, which is significant because Judah is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. This connection underscores the messianic prophecy that the Messiah would come from the line of Judah (Genesis 49:10).

The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.
Shammai's sons, Nadab and Abishur, continue the genealogical record, which serves to establish the historical and legal claims of the tribes of Israel to their inheritance in the Promised Land. The mention of Nadab and Abishur, though not widely known figures, reflects the meticulous record-keeping of the Israelites and their emphasis on heritage and continuity. This attention to detail in genealogies is also seen in the New Testament, where the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 traces His lineage back to David and Abraham, affirming His rightful place as the promised Messiah.
