This genealogy is part of the Chronicler's effort to trace the lineage of significant families in Israel, particularly those connected to the monarchy and priesthood. The mention of Micah here is not to be confused with the prophet Micah. This Micah is a lesser-known figure, but his inclusion highlights the importance of maintaining records of family lines, which was crucial for tribal identity and inheritance rights in ancient Israel.<p><b>Pithon,</b><br>Pithon is one of the sons of Micah, and his name appears only in genealogical records. The name Pithon may derive from a root meaning "to open" or "to free," though the exact significance is uncertain. The listing of Pithon underscores the Chronicler's attention to detail in preserving the names of even relatively obscure family members, reflecting the value placed on each individual within the community of Israel.<p><b>Melech,</b><br>Melech, another son of Micah, has a name meaning "king" in Hebrew. This name might suggest aspirations or a reminder of the royal lineage from which he descends, given the connection to Saul. The Chronicler's inclusion of Melech serves as a reminder of the royal heritage and the divine promise associated with the house of Saul, despite its eventual decline.<p><b>Tahrea,</b><br>Tahrea is listed as a son of Micah, and his name is sometimes spelled "Tarea" in other translations. The name's meaning is not entirely clear, but it may be related to a root meaning "to delay" or "to wait." This could symbolize a period of waiting or expectation for the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel, a theme often explored in the Chronicler's writings.<p><b>and Ahaz.</b><br>Ahaz, the final son mentioned, shares his name with a more infamous king of Judah, known for his idolatry and alliance with Assyria. However, this Ahaz is a different individual, and his inclusion in the genealogy serves to distinguish the family line of Micah. The Chronicler's record of Ahaz emphasizes the continuity of the family line and the importance of each generation in the unfolding story of Israel's history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/micah.htm">Micah</a></b><br>A descendant of Saul, Micah is part of the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin.
