The mention of Ziza highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. Genealogies served to establish identity and inheritance rights within the tribes of Israel. The name Ziza itself means "splendor" or "brightness," which may reflect the character or reputation of the individual or family. Shiphi, his father, is not widely mentioned elsewhere, indicating that some genealogical records include lesser-known figures to maintain the continuity of family lines.<p><b>(son of Allon,</b><br>Allon is another name that appears infrequently in the biblical text. The name means "oak" or "strong," which could symbolize strength or endurance. Oaks were significant in ancient Israel, often associated with places of worship or significant events (e.g., <a href="/genesis/35-8.htm">Genesis 35:8</a>). The inclusion of Allon in the genealogy underscores the importance of each generation in maintaining the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs.<p><b>son of Jedaiah,</b><br>Jedaiah means "Yahweh has known" or "Yahweh knows," reflecting a deep sense of divine awareness and relationship. This name suggests a family that was conscious of their relationship with God and possibly involved in religious or priestly activities. The name Jedaiah appears in other contexts, such as among the priests who returned from exile (<a href="/nehemiah/11-10.htm">Nehemiah 11:10</a>), indicating a possible priestly lineage or connection.<p><b>son of Shimri,</b><br>Shimri means "watchful" or "vigilant," which could imply a role of guardianship or protection within the family or community. The name suggests a character trait valued in the biblical narrative, where vigilance is often associated with faithfulness and readiness (e.g., <a href="/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8</a>). The inclusion of Shimri in the genealogy may highlight the family's role in maintaining the spiritual and social integrity of their community.<p><b>son of Shemaiah).</b><br>Shemaiah means "heard by Yahweh," indicating a person whose prayers or cries were acknowledged by God. This name is common in the Old Testament, often associated with prophets or leaders who played significant roles in guiding the people of Israel (e.g., <a href="/1_kings/12-22.htm">1 Kings 12:22</a>). The mention of Shemaiah in this genealogy may suggest a legacy of spiritual leadership or influence, emphasizing the importance of being attentive to God's voice and direction.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/ziza.htm">Ziza</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Ziza is part of the genealogical record that highlights the lineage and heritage of the tribe of Judah.
