Nogah is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. He is identified as one of the sons of King David, the renowned king of Israel. The name "Nogah" is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively established, it is often associated with the concept of "brightness" or "splendor."

Biblical References:

Nogah is specifically mentioned in the genealogical listings found in the First Book of Chronicles. The relevant passage is as follows:

· 1 Chronicles 3:5-8 : "These were born to him in Jerusalem: Shimea, Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon. These four were by Bathsheba daughter of Ammiel. There were also Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet—nine in all."

In this passage, Nogah is listed among the sons born to David in Jerusalem. The context of this genealogy highlights the expansion of David's family during his reign in the capital city, underscoring the establishment of his dynasty.

Historical and Theological Context:

Nogah's mention in the genealogical records serves to emphasize the prolific nature of David's lineage, which played a significant role in the history of Israel. David's sons, including Nogah, were part of the royal household, although not all of them are prominent in the biblical narrative beyond these genealogical references.

The genealogies in Chronicles are crucial for understanding the Davidic line, which holds theological significance in the broader biblical narrative. The Davidic covenant, as outlined in 2 Samuel 7, promises that David's descendants would have an everlasting kingdom, a promise ultimately fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ, who is recognized in the New Testament as a descendant of David.

Cultural and Symbolic Significance:

While Nogah himself does not have a detailed account or specific deeds recorded in the biblical text, his inclusion in the genealogical record reflects the importance of family lineage and heritage in ancient Israelite culture. The chronicler's emphasis on David's descendants serves to legitimize the Davidic dynasty and its central role in the history and theology of Israel.

In summary, Nogah is a minor yet integral part of the biblical genealogical tradition, representing the broader theme of God's covenantal promises to David and the enduring legacy of his royal line.
