Uthai
The name "Uthai" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "helpful" or "my iniquity." In the context of 1 Chronicles, Uthai represents a lineage of restoration and return, as the Chronicles often focus on the genealogies of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. This name reminds us of God's providence and the help He provides to His people, even in times of displacement and return.

son of Ammihud
"Ammihud" means "people of glory" or "my kinsman is glorious." This lineage emphasizes the glory and honor associated with being part of God's chosen people. It reflects the importance of family heritage and the transmission of faith and values through generations, a key theme in the Chronicles.

the son of Omri
"Omri" is a name that means "pupil of Jehovah" or "servant of Jehovah." This highlights the role of servitude and learning in the life of a believer. Omri's mention in the genealogy underscores the importance of being a disciple and servant of God, a calling for all believers.

the son of Imri
"Imri" means "eloquent" or "eloquence of Jehovah." This suggests a legacy of communication and proclamation of God's word. The inclusion of Imri in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the power of speech and the responsibility to declare God's truths.

the son of Bani
"Bani" means "built" or "builder." This name signifies the role of constructing and establishing, both physically and spiritually. In the context of the post-exilic community, it reflects the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the re-establishment of the Jewish community, symbolizing spiritual renewal and growth.

from the descendants of Perez
"Perez" means "breach" or "burst forth." Perez was a son of Judah, and his lineage is significant in the messianic line, as it leads to King David and ultimately to Jesus Christ. This highlights God's ability to bring forth His purposes even through unexpected or tumultuous circumstances.

son of Judah
"Judah" means "praise." As the fourth son of Jacob and Leah, Judah's name signifies the praise and worship due to God. The tribe of Judah holds a place of prominence in Israel's history, being the royal tribe from which King David and Jesus Christ descended. This lineage emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises and the centrality of worship in the life of His people.

(4) Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani.--Nehemiah 11:4 traces this line thus: "Athaiah son of Uzjiah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez." Uthai is equivalent to Athaiah, and Imri to Amariah, by a common contraction. The other intermediate names in the two series do not coincide; but this does not prove that Uthai and Athaiah are different clans. Many more than five or six members would obviously be required to constitute a complete genealogical stem, reaching from post-exilic times to the age of the tribal patriarchs. We may therefore conclude that the compiler has chosen to select different names in each case from a longer list, which comprised both series.

Verse 4. - This verse contains a short list, with many links wanting, of descendants of Judah through Pharez, six in number, and in reverse order. .4. similar list as regards its extreme terms is that which we find in Nehemiah 11:4, but only three (Uthai, Imri, Pharez) of the six names here can be considered identical with a like number (Athaiah, Amariah, Perez) out of the seven found there. Nehemiah 11:6 adds, "The number of the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem four hundred three score and eight valiant men."
