The name "Jonath" is a variant of "Jonathan," which means "Yahweh has given" or "gift of God." While Jonath himself is not a central character in biblical narratives, understanding his place in the genealogies provides insight into the lineage and heritage of the tribes of Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Jonath is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. In <a href="/1_chronicles/7-8.htm">1 Chronicles 7:8</a>, the Berean Standard Bible states: "The sons of Becher: Zemirah, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jeremoth, Abijah, Anathoth, and Alemeth. All these were the sons of Becher." Here, Jonath is listed as one of the descendants of Becher, who was a son of Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel.<br><br><b>Genealogical Significance:</b> <br>The genealogies in the Bible serve several purposes, including establishing the historical and familial context of the tribes of Israel. Jonath's inclusion in the genealogy of Benjamin highlights the continuity and expansion of this tribe. The tribe of Benjamin held a significant role in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel, and later, the Apostle Paul, a pivotal figure in the New Testament.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br>In ancient Israel, genealogies were crucial for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights. They were also important for validating claims to leadership and priesthood. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Jonath belonged, was known for its warriors and played a strategic role in the defense and politics of Israel.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>While Jonath himself does not have a direct theological impact, his place in the genealogy underscores the biblical theme of God's providence and faithfulness in preserving His people. Each name in the genealogies represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive history, leading ultimately to the coming of Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Though Jonath is a minor figure, his mention in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles serves as a reminder of the intricate tapestry of relationships and histories that form the backdrop of the biblical narrative. His inclusion in the tribe of Benjamin's lineage highlights the importance of every individual in God's unfolding plan for His people.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JONATH ELEM REHOKIM</span><p>jo'-nath e'-lem re-ho'-kim (yonath 'elem rechoqim) (Psalm 56, title): "The silent dove of the far ones" (i.e. either of far-off lands, or among aliens), or "The dove of the distant terebinths," in either case indicating the tune to the melody of which the psalm was to be sung.<br><br>See <a href="../p/psalms.htm">PSALMS</a>; <a href="../s/song.htm">SONG</a>.<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/3128.htm"><span class="l">3128.
