Ahaz
The name "Ahaz" is derived from the Hebrew root "אָחַז" (achaz), meaning "to seize" or "to grasp." In the context of biblical genealogy, Ahaz is a name that appears in various lineages, often associated with kingship and leadership. Historically, Ahaz was a king of Judah known for his unfaithfulness to God, but in this genealogical record, it is important to see the continuity of God's plan through imperfect vessels. The mention of Ahaz here reminds us of the sovereignty of God in using all people, regardless of their past, to fulfill His divine purposes.

Jehoaddah
This name means "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh has testified." The root "יְהוֹ" (Yeho) is a theophoric element referring to the name of God, Yahweh, and "עָדָה" (adah) means "to adorn" or "to testify." Jehoaddah's inclusion in the genealogy signifies the testimony of God's faithfulness and the beauty of His covenant with His people. It serves as a reminder that God adorns His people with His grace and calls them to bear witness to His truth.

Alemeth
The name "Alemeth" is derived from the Hebrew "עַלְמֶת" (Almeth), which can mean "concealment" or "hidden." This name may suggest the hidden or mysterious ways in which God works through history. In the context of genealogies, it highlights the often unseen and unrecognized individuals who play crucial roles in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. It encourages believers to trust in God's hidden work in their lives and the world.

Azmaveth
This name means "strong as death" or "strength of death," derived from the Hebrew "עַז" (az), meaning "strong," and "מָוֶת" (maveth), meaning "death." Azmaveth's name may symbolize the strength and resilience required to face life's challenges and the ultimate victory over death through faith. It serves as a reminder of the hope and strength found in God, who conquers death and grants eternal life to His people.

Zimri
The name "Zimri" comes from the Hebrew "זִמְרִי" (Zimri), meaning "my praise" or "my song." This name reflects the importance of worship and praise in the life of God's people. Zimri's place in the genealogy underscores the role of worship in maintaining a relationship with God and the power of praise to transform lives and circumstances. It encourages believers to live lives marked by praise and gratitude to God.

Moza
The name "Moza" is derived from the Hebrew "מוֹצָא" (Motza), meaning "departure" or "going forth." This name can symbolize new beginnings and the journey of faith. Moza's mention in the genealogy highlights the theme of movement and progress in God's plan, as His people are called to step out in faith and follow His leading. It serves as an inspiration for believers to embrace the journey of faith, trusting in God's guidance and provision.

(36) Zur.--"Rock," a Divine title. (Comp. Pedahzur, "the Rock hath ransomed;" Zurishaddai, "the Rock is the Lofty One;" if we may connect the difficult Shaddai with the Assyrian term sadu, "mountain." But it seems better to explain it from the root sh?d?h, "to pour out," which is found in Aramaic and Arabic; so that Shaddai would signify "giver of rain." (Comp. Joel 2:23.)

Baal has been compounded with Nadab, to form a single name, Baal-nadab, "Baal is prince." (Comp. Baal-gad, "Baal is Gad;" Baal-hanan, "Baal is bounteous," 1Chronicles 1:49.) In that case Ner is out of place.
