Usage: Jerocham is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in various genealogical and historical contexts. Context: Jerocham is a name found in the Old Testament, associated with several individuals: • Jerocham of Benjamin: He is mentioned as an ancestor of Saul, the first king of Israel. In 1 Samuel 9:1, Jerocham is listed in the genealogy of Saul, indicating his significance in the lineage of the Benjamite tribe. • Jerocham of Levi: Another Jerocham is noted as a Levite, the father of Adaiah, who served in the temple during the reign of King Josiah. This Jerocham is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:12, highlighting his role in the religious life of Israel. • Jerocham of Ephraim: In 1 Chronicles 27:22, Jerocham is listed as a leader of the tribe of Ephraim during the reign of King David, indicating his prominence in the military and administrative structure of the kingdom. • Jerocham of Judah: In 2 Chronicles 23:1, Jerocham is mentioned as the father of Azariah, one of the leaders who supported the young King Joash in overthrowing Queen Athaliah, demonstrating his involvement in the political and religious reforms of the time.
