It is also mentioned as a descendant of Benjamin in this context. The name Gedor means "wall" or "enclosure," which may symbolize protection or strength. The city of Gedor was known for its strategic location and fortifications, which could be a reflection of the character or role of the individual named Gedor in the genealogical record. This name highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the chronicling of Israel's tribes.<p><b>Ahio</b><br>Ahio is another name found in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin. The name means "brotherly" or "fraternal," suggesting a sense of kinship or community. Ahio is also mentioned in <a href="/2_samuel/6-3.htm">2 Samuel 6:3-4</a> as one of the sons of Abinadab who helped transport the Ark of the Covenant. This connection may imply a role of service or responsibility within the community. The inclusion of Ahio in the genealogy underscores the importance of family ties and the continuity of the Benjamite lineage.<p><b>Zecher</b><br>Zecher, meaning "remembrance" or "memory," is a name that emphasizes the importance of remembering one's heritage and the deeds of the past. This name is less frequently mentioned in the Bible, which may suggest a more obscure or humble role within the tribe of Benjamin. The concept of remembrance is significant in biblical theology, as it often relates to God's covenant with His people and the call to remember His works and commandments. The presence of Zecher in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy and faithfulness of the Benjamite line.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gedor.htm">Gedor</a></b><br>A descendant of Benjamin, Gedor is listed among the sons of Jeiel and Maacah.
