His name, which may mean "eloquent" or "eloquence," appears in several contexts, highlighting his role within the lineage of the Israelites.<br><br>1. <b>Genealogical Context</b>: Imri is noted as an ancestor within the tribe of Judah. In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-4.htm">1 Chronicles 9:4</a>, he is listed as the father of Zicri, who is a descendant of Pharez, the son of Judah. The passage states: "Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the descendants of Perez son of Judah." This genealogical record underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with the people of Israel through the tribe of Judah.<br><br>2. <b>Rebuilding of Jerusalem</b>: Imri is also mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period, during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls under Nehemiah's leadership. In <a href="/nehemiah/3-2.htm">Nehemiah 3:2</a>, his descendants are involved in the reconstruction efforts: "The men of Jericho built the adjoining section, and Zaccur son of Imri built next to them." This highlights the active participation of Imri's lineage in the restoration of Jerusalem, reflecting the fulfillment of God's promises to restore His people and their city after the Babylonian exile.<br><br>3. <b>Significance in Biblical Narrative</b>: The mention of Imri, though brief, serves as a testament to the faithfulness of the Israelites in maintaining their genealogical records and their commitment to the restoration of their community and worship practices. His descendants' involvement in the rebuilding efforts signifies the collective effort of the Israelites to reestablish their identity and religious practices in the land promised to their forefathers.<br><br>Imri's presence in the biblical text, though limited to genealogical and historical records, contributes to the broader narrative of God's enduring relationship with His chosen people. His lineage's participation in significant events like the rebuilding of Jerusalem underscores the themes of restoration, faithfulness, and the fulfillment of divine promises that permeate the biblical account.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Imri</span><p>speaking; exalting; bitter; a lamb<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">IMRI</span><p>im'-ri ('imri):<br><br>(1) A Judahite (<a href="/1_chronicles/9-4.htm">1 Chronicles 9:4</a>).<br><br>(2) Father of Zaccur who helped to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah (<a href="/nehemiah/3-2.htm">Nehemiah 3:2</a>).<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/566.htm"><span class="l">566. <b>Imri</b> -- perhaps "tall" or "eloquent," an Israelite name</span></a><br><b>...</b> 565b, 566. <b>Imri</b>. 567 . perhaps "tall" or "eloquent," an Israelite name.<br> Transliteration: <b>Imri</b> Phonetic Spelling: (im-ree') Short Definition: <b>Imri</b>. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/566.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/i/imri.htm"><span class="l"><b>Imri</b> (2 Occurrences)</span></a><br><b>...</b><b>IMRI</b>. im'-ri ('<b>imri</b>): (1) A Judahite (1 Chronicles 9:4).
