This lineage is significant as it traces the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ are descended. The name "Ishi" means "my husband" or "my salvation," reflecting a common practice in Hebrew culture of naming children with meanings that express faith or hope. This genealogical record emphasizes the continuity of God's covenant with His people through the generations.<p><b>The son of Ishi: Sheshan.</b><br>Sheshan is noted in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles as a descendant of Judah. The name "Sheshan" may mean "noble" or "joyful," which could reflect the character or the aspirations of the family. In the broader biblical context, genealogies like this one serve to establish the historical and theological foundations of Israel's identity. They also highlight the importance of family lineage in maintaining the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs.<p><b>The son of Sheshan: Ahlai.</b><br>Ahlai is a unique entry in the genealogical record, as Sheshan is noted elsewhere in <a href="/1_chronicles/2-34.htm">1 Chronicles 2:34-35</a> for having no sons, only daughters. This suggests that Ahlai may have been a daughter or a son-in-law, which was a common practice in ancient genealogies to continue the family line. The name "Ahlai" means "ornament" or "adornment," indicating the value placed on this individual within the family. This entry underscores the flexibility and inclusivity of biblical genealogies, which sometimes include women or sons-in-law to ensure the continuation of a family line, reflecting the broader theme of God's providence and faithfulness in preserving His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/appaim.htm">Appaim</a></b><br>A descendant of Judah, Appaim is part of the genealogical record that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah.
