The tribe of Benjamin held a significant position in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel. The name Ishpan itself is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, which suggests that he may not have been a prominent figure in biblical narratives. However, his inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite culture. Genealogies served to establish identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations, which were crucial for maintaining the social and religious structure of the Israelite community.<p><b>Eber</b><br>Eber is a name that appears multiple times in biblical genealogies, most notably as an ancestor of Abraham in the line of Shem, one of Noah's sons. The name Eber is significant because it is associated with the term "Hebrew," which is used to describe the descendants of Abraham. This connection highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises through specific family lines. In the context of <a href="/1_chronicles/8.htm">1 Chronicles 8</a>, Eber is a descendant of Benjamin, emphasizing the tribe's integration into the broader narrative of Israel's history. The genealogical record serves to affirm the tribe's role in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<p><b>Eliel</b><br>Eliel is another name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. The name means "My God is God," reflecting the theocentric nature of Israelite names and their emphasis on the relationship with God. Eliel's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of individual members within the tribe, each contributing to the collective identity and mission of Israel. While Eliel may not be a prominent figure in biblical stories, his presence in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the faithfulness of God to all members of His covenant people, regardless of their individual renown. The genealogical records in Chronicles often highlight the continuity of God's promises and the faithfulness of His people across generations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/ishpan.htm">Ishpan</a></b><br>A descendant of Benjamin, Ishpan is listed among the sons of Shashak.
