1 Chronicles 8
1. The sons and chief men of Benjamin
33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan














Abishua
The name "Abishua" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "father of salvation" or "my father is rescue." This name reflects a deep-seated belief in God's deliverance and protection, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Abishua is a descendant of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This lineage emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant with His people, highlighting the importance of family and heritage in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. The name itself serves as a reminder of the hope and salvation that God provides, foreshadowing the ultimate salvation through Jesus Christ.

Naaman
The name "Naaman" means "pleasant" or "beautiful" in Hebrew. This name appears in various contexts in the Bible, most notably as the Aramean commander healed of leprosy by the prophet Elisha (2 Kings 5). In 1 Chronicles 8:4, Naaman is listed as a descendant of Benjamin, indicating the diversity and richness of the tribe's heritage. The inclusion of Naaman in this genealogy underscores the idea that God's grace and favor extend beyond Israel, as seen in the account of Naaman the Syrian. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and pleasantness of God's creation and His desire for all people to experience His healing and restoration.

Ahoah
The name "Ahoah" is less common and its meaning is not entirely clear, though it may be related to the Hebrew word for "brotherly" or "fraternal." This name, like others in the genealogical records, highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes of Israel and the importance of community and brotherhood. In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of brotherhood is significant, as it reflects the unity and solidarity that God desires among His people. Ahoah's inclusion in the genealogy of Benjamin serves as a reminder of the familial bonds that are central to the identity of God's chosen people, encouraging believers to foster relationships characterized by love, support, and mutual respect.
