The most notable Benaiah was the son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior in King David's army and later the commander of Solomon's army (<a href="/1_kings/2-35.htm">1 Kings 2:35</a>). The name means "Yahweh has built" or "Yahweh has made," reflecting a common practice of the Israelites to incorporate the name of God into personal names, signifying a relationship or blessing from God. In the context of <a href="/ezra/10.htm">Ezra 10</a>, Benaiah is listed among those who had taken foreign wives, which was against the Mosaic Law (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-3.htm">Deuteronomy 7:3-4</a>). This highlights the theme of repentance and the need for Israel to remain distinct from surrounding nations to fulfill their covenant with God.<p><b>Bedeiah</b><br>Bedeiah is a less common name in the Bible, and its meaning is not entirely clear, though it may mean "servant of Yahweh." The inclusion of Bedeiah in this list underscores the widespread nature of the issue of intermarriage with foreign women among the Israelites returning from exile. This was a significant concern for Ezra, as it threatened the religious purity and cultural identity of the Jewish people. The historical context here is the post-exilic period, where the Jewish community was re-establishing itself in Jerusalem and needed to adhere strictly to the Law to avoid the sins that led to their exile.<p><b>Cheluhi</b><br>Cheluhi is another name that appears only in this list, and like Bedeiah, it is not widely known outside of this context. The presence of such names in <a href="/ezra/10.htm">Ezra 10</a> indicates the personal nature of the reforms Ezra was implementing. Each name represents a family and a story of repentance and return to covenant faithfulness. The cultural context involves the Jewish community's struggle to maintain their distinct identity amidst the influences of surrounding nations. This was crucial for the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel and the coming of the Messiah, who would be born from a people set apart for God's purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/b/benaiah.htm">Benaiah</a></b><br>A name meaning "Yahweh has built" or "Yahweh has made."
