Topical Encyclopedia
Jeziel is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. He appears in 1 Chronicles 7:10, where he is listed among the descendants of Benjamin, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, also known as Israel. The passage reads: "The son of Jediael: Bilhan. The sons of Bilhan: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar." (1 Chronicles 7:10). Jeziel is noted as one of the sons of Bilhan, who is a descendant of Jediael, a prominent family within the tribe of Benjamin.

The tribe of Benjamin holds a significant place in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel, and later, the Apostle Paul, a pivotal figure in the New Testament. The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to establish the heritage and lineage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through their ancestral lines.

Pelet

Pelet is another biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. He is identified as a descendant of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Pelet is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 2:47, which states: "The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph." (1 Chronicles 2:47). Pelet is listed among the sons of Jahdai, a lesser-known figure within the tribe of Judah.

The tribe of Judah is of particular importance in biblical history, as it is the tribe from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, descended. The genealogies in Chronicles highlight the fulfillment of God's promises through the lineage of Judah, underscoring the messianic prophecies that find their fulfillment in the New Testament.

Both Jeziel and Pelet, though not prominent figures in biblical narratives, are part of the intricate genealogical tapestry that underscores the faithfulness of God in preserving the lineage of His chosen people. Their inclusion in the genealogical records serves as a testament to the detailed historical and spiritual heritage that the Bible seeks to convey.
