Meshobab
The name "Meshobab" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "restored" or "returned." This name can be seen as a reflection of God's redemptive power and His ability to restore His people. In the context of 1 Chronicles, which often lists genealogies and tribal leaders, Meshobab represents a lineage that is part of the larger narrative of Israel's history. The mention of Meshobab serves as a reminder of the importance of each individual in God's plan, no matter how briefly they are mentioned in the scriptures.

Jamlech
The name "Jamlech" is less common and its exact meaning is not definitively known, but it is thought to be related to the Hebrew root "melek," meaning "king." This connection to royalty or leadership can be seen as a symbolic representation of the role that each person plays in the kingdom of God. Even those who are not kings in the earthly sense can have a significant impact in God's divine order. Jamlech's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the theme of leadership and the diverse roles within the community of God's people.

Joshah the son of Amaziah
"Joshah" is a name that means "Jehovah gives" or "whom Jehovah bestows." This name highlights the belief in God's providence and generosity. The mention of Joshah as "the son of Amaziah" provides a familial link that is significant in the chronicling of Israel's history. Amaziah, meaning "strength of Jehovah," suggests a legacy of faith and reliance on God's power. This phrase emphasizes the importance of heritage and the passing down of faith from one generation to the next. It serves as an encouragement to believers to recognize the blessings and responsibilities that come with being part of God's family.

III.--EMIGRATION OF THE SIMEONITES: THEIR CONQUESTS (1Chronicles 4:34-43).

(34-37) The thirteen princes (emirs) of Simeon who headed the expedition of their tribe in the age of Hezekiah (fl. 710 B.C.). None of them are otherwise known.

Verses 34-41. - These verses record an organized and determined movement in quest of new and rich territory on the part of some of the tribe of Simeon. They were thirteen princes of the tribe of Simeon who led the movement, possibly representing respectively the "thirteen cities" given above. The movement took place in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah (B.C. 726-698). That the house of their fathers had increased greatly is probably mentioned as some explanation of the cause of the movement. Though in one name out of the thirteen (ver. 35) the ancestors are traced to the third generation, and in another (ver. 37) to the fifth, no name is reached of the sons of Simeon enumerated in vers. 24-27. These mentioned by names is to be translated strictly these coming by names; and it is open to question whether the word of ver. 41, הכְּתוּבִים, be not omitted after הַבָּאִים; so that the passage would read, "These that came, written by names, were princes in their families." Of the names, twenty-two in all, found in these verses, just so much is known as is here written.
