Zebadiah
The name "Zebadiah" is derived from the Hebrew root "zabad," meaning "to endow" or "to give." This name can be interpreted as "Yahweh has given" or "Gift of Yahweh." In the context of the genealogies in 1 Chronicles, Zebadiah represents the acknowledgment of God's providence and blessings upon the lineage of Benjamin. The inclusion of such names in the genealogical records serves as a reminder of the divine favor and the importance of recognizing God's hand in the establishment and continuation of family lines.

Meshullam
The name "Meshullam" comes from the Hebrew root "shalam," which means "to be complete" or "to be at peace." This name can be understood as "friend" or "ally," suggesting a person who is complete or whole in their relationships, both with God and with others. In the historical context of the Chronicles, names like Meshullam highlight the value placed on harmony and integrity within the community of Israel. It reflects the ideal of living in peace and completeness, which is a recurring theme in the biblical narrative.

Hizki
The name "Hizki" is a shortened form of "Hezekiah," which means "Yahweh strengthens" or "Yahweh is my strength." This name underscores the reliance on God's strength and support, a central theme in the lives of the Israelites. In the genealogical context, Hizki serves as a testament to the enduring faith and trust in God's power to sustain and uphold His people. It is a reminder of the spiritual fortitude that is necessary to navigate the challenges of life, drawing strength from the divine source.

Heber
The name "Heber" is associated with the Hebrew root "chabar," meaning "to join" or "to associate." This name can be interpreted as "comrade" or "associate," emphasizing the importance of community and connection among the people of Israel. In the broader scriptural context, Heber represents the unity and fellowship that are vital to the identity and survival of the Israelite tribes. It highlights the interconnectedness of the community and the shared responsibility to uphold the covenant with God.
