In this context, Abihail is a patriarchal figure within the tribe of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The mention of "sons" indicates a continuation of lineage, which is crucial in biblical genealogies for establishing heritage and tribal identity. This lineage underscores the importance of family and tribal connections in maintaining the covenant community of Israel.son of Huri Huri is a lesser-known figure in the Bible, and his mention here serves to trace the genealogy of the Gadites. The name Huri may be related to the Hebrew word for "linen," suggesting a possible connection to trade or craftsmanship, although this is speculative. The genealogical record emphasizes the continuity of the family line, which is a common theme in Chronicles, highlighting the faithfulness of God in preserving His people.the son of Jaroah Jaroah is another figure whose name appears only in genealogical records. The inclusion of such names, even when little else is known about them, reflects the chronicler's intent to provide a comprehensive record of Israel's tribal history. This meticulous attention to detail underscores the importance of each individual in the unfolding story of God's people.the son of Gilead Gilead is a significant name, often associated with a region east of the Jordan River known for its balm and rugged terrain. The name Gilead is also linked to a prominent family within the tribe of Manasseh, suggesting a possible inter-tribal connection or shared heritage. This connection may indicate the blending of tribal identities and the shared history of the Israelites.the son of Michael Michael is a name that means "Who is like God?" and is a common name in the Bible, often associated with warriors or leaders. The mention of Michael in this genealogy may suggest a person of notable character or influence within the tribe of Gad. The name itself reflects a theological affirmation of God's uniqueness and supremacy.the son of Jeshishai Jeshishai is a name that appears only in this genealogical context. The chronicler's inclusion of such names, even when they are otherwise unknown, highlights the importance of each link in the genealogical chain. This reflects the biblical theme of God's providence in history, where every individual plays a role in the divine narrative.the son of Jahdo Jahdo is another name that appears solely in genealogical records. The chronicler's attention to detail in listing these names serves to authenticate the historical record and emphasize the continuity of God's people. Each name represents a generation that contributed to the preservation and identity of the tribe of Gad.the son of Buz Buz is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, notably as a nephew of Abraham (<a href="/genesis/22-21.htm">Genesis 22:21</a>). This connection may suggest a broader familial link within the Semitic peoples. The name Buz, meaning "contempt" or "despised," may carry a historical or cultural significance, possibly reflecting the challenges faced by this lineage. The inclusion of Buz in the genealogy underscores the theme of God's faithfulness in using even those who might be considered insignificant or marginalized in the fulfillment of His purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/abihail.htm">Abihail</a> A patriarchal figure in the genealogy of the tribe of Gad, indicating a lineage of significance. 2. <a href="/topical/a/ahi.htm">Ahi</a> A descendant of Abihail, representing a continuation of the family line. 3. <a href="/topical/h/huri.htm">Huri</a> The father of Ahi, part of the genealogical record. 4. <a href="/topical/j/jaroah.htm">Jaroah</a> An ancestor in the lineage, contributing to the historical context of the tribe. 5. <a href="/topical/g/gilead.htm">Gilead</a> A notable name, often associated with a region east of the Jordan River, but here a person in the genealogy. 6. <a href="/topical/m/michael.htm">Michael</a> Another ancestor, sharing a name with the archangel, though here a human figure. 7. <a href="/topical/j/jeshishai.htm">Jeshishai</a> Part of the genealogical record, contributing to the understanding of the tribe's history. 8. <a href="/topical/j/jahdo.htm">Jahdo</a> An ancestor in the lineage, emphasizing the continuity of the family line. 9. <a href="/topical/b/buz.htm">Buz</a> The earliest ancestor mentioned in this verse, possibly indicating a connection to the broader family of Abraham.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_genealogy.htm">The Importance of Genealogy</a> Genealogies in the Bible serve to connect individuals to the larger account of God's people.

A rapid line of descent, or rather of ascent, consisting of ten generations, from Abihail to Guni, here follows. The division between these verses has unfortunately cut in half one name, i.e. Buzaki. The translators of the Septuagint saw that the two verses composed one line of ascent, but instead of piecing "Aki" to "Buz," translated it as" brother." Though this line takes us some way back, we find nowhere else any clue or identification of any of these ten persons. Of the twenty-one persons in all, therefore, named as belonging to the tribe of Gad, nothing else is known; and we have nothing to guide us to connect them with any one rather than another of the original" sons of Gad" (<a href="/genesis/46-16.htm">Genesis 46:16</a>; <a href="/numbers/16-15.htm">Numbers 16:15-18</a>). <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>These אֵ֣לֶּה ׀ (’êl·leh) Pronoun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_428.htm">Strong's 428: </a> These, those were the sons בְּנֵ֣י (bə·nê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Abihail אֲבִיחַ֗יִל (’ă·ḇî·ḥa·yil) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_32.htm">Strong's 32: </a> Abihail -- 'my father is might', an Israelite name son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Huri, חוּרִ֡י (ḥū·rî) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2359.htm">Strong's 2359: </a> Huri -- a Gadite the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jaroah, יָ֠רוֹחַ (yā·rō·w·aḥ) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3386.htm">Strong's 3386: </a> Jaroah -- a Gadite the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Gilead, גִּלְעָ֧ד (gil·‘āḏ) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1568.htm">Strong's 1568: </a> Gilead -- a region in Palestine, also the name of several Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Michael, מִיכָאֵ֛ל (mî·ḵā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4317.htm">Strong's 4317: </a> Michael -- 'Who is like God?' an angel, also a number of Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jeshishai, יְשִׁישַׁ֥י (yə·šî·šay) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3454.htm">Strong's 3454: </a> Jeshishai -- a Gileadite the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jahdo, יַחְדּ֖וֹ (yaḥ·dōw) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3163.htm">Strong's 3163: </a> Jahdo -- a Gileadite the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Buz. בּֽוּז׃ (būz) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_938.htm">Strong's 938: </a> Buz -- two Israelites <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">1 Chronicles 5:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/5-14.htm">OT History: 1 Chronicles 5:14 These were the sons of Abihail (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/1_chronicles/5-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 5:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 5:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/1_chronicles/5-15.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 5:15"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 5:15" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
