Shamsherai
The name "Shamsherai" is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively known, it is often associated with the idea of "sun" or "dawn." In the context of the genealogies in 1 Chronicles, Shamsherai is listed among the descendants of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the Hebrew culture, where names often carried significant meaning and were reflective of familial or divine attributes. The mention of Shamsherai serves as a reminder of the continuity of God's promises through generations, emphasizing the faithfulness of God to His people.

Shehariah
The name "Shehariah" can be translated to mean "dawn" or "the Lord is my dawn." This name, like many in the Bible, carries a theophoric element, incorporating the name of God (Yah) into its structure. This reflects the deep-seated belief in the divine presence and guidance in the lives of the Israelites. In the historical context, names were not merely identifiers but were often prophetic or declarative of one's relationship with God. Shehariah's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the hope and renewal that comes with each new generation, much like the dawn brings new light and possibilities.

Athaliah
"Athaliah" is a name that appears in various contexts within the Bible, most notably as the name of a queen in Judah. However, in this genealogical listing, Athaliah is a male descendant of Benjamin. The name means "Yahweh is exalted," which is a powerful declaration of faith and reverence. In the scriptural context, the use of such a name would serve as a constant reminder of the sovereignty and supremacy of God in the lives of His people. The historical significance of names like Athaliah in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles is to affirm the identity and mission of the Israelites as a people chosen to exalt and glorify God through their lives and lineage.
