The name reflects a common practice in ancient Israelite culture of incorporating elements of the divine name into personal names, signifying a connection or relationship with God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Jahdo is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The reference to Jahdo can be found in <a href="/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14</a>, which states: "These were the sons of Abihail: the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz" . This passage situates Jahdo within a lineage that traces back to the patriarchs of the tribe of Gad.<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b> <br>The tribe of Gad was one of the tribes that settled on the eastern side of the Jordan River, in the region known as Gilead. This area was known for its pastoral lands, which were well-suited for the tribe's livestock. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the tribal and familial lines of descent, which were important for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Genealogies in the Bible, such as the one including Jahdo, are not merely historical records but also serve a theological purpose. They demonstrate the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises through generations. The inclusion of Jahdo in the genealogical record underscores the continuity of God's covenant with Israel and the importance of each individual within the larger narrative of God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Role in the Biblical Narrative:</b> <br>While Jahdo himself is not a prominent figure in the biblical narrative, his mention in the genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of the tribes of Israel and the importance of family heritage. The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles emphasize the unity and identity of the Israelite tribes, which were crucial for the community's cohesion and faithfulness to God's covenant.<br><br><b>Interpretation and Application:</b> <br>From a conservative Christian perspective, the genealogies, including the mention of Jahdo, are seen as divinely inspired and integral to understanding the unfolding of God's plan throughout history. They remind believers of the importance of heritage, faithfulness, and the assurance that God is actively involved in the lives of His people. The genealogies also serve as a testament to the reliability of Scripture and the historical reality of the biblical narrative.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jahdo</span><p>I alone; his joy; his sharpness of wit; his newness<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jahdo</span><p>(<i>united</i>), a Gadite, (<a href="/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14</a>) son of Buz and father of Jeshishai.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JAHDO</span><p>ja'-do (yachdo, meaning uncertain; Kittel suggests yachday = Jahdai): In <a href="/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14</a>, a Gileadite.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3163.htm"><span class="l">3163.
