The name Ahio means "brotherly" or "his brother," which reflects the importance of family and kinship in ancient Israelite culture. Ahio is also mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as in <a href="/2_samuel/6-3.htm">2 Samuel 6:3-4</a>, where he is involved in transporting the Ark of the Covenant. This connection highlights the significance of the Benjamite lineage in the religious and national history of Israel.<p><b>Shashak</b><br>Shashak is another descendant of Benjamin listed in this genealogical account. The name Shashak is less common in the biblical text, and not much is known about him outside of this context. The inclusion of Shashak in the genealogy underscores the chronicler's intent to provide a comprehensive record of the Benjamite lineage, emphasizing the tribe's role in the broader narrative of Israel. This meticulous recording of names serves to preserve the heritage and identity of the tribes of Israel, which was crucial for maintaining the covenant community.<p><b>Jeremoth</b><br>Jeremoth is also listed among the descendants of Benjamin. The name Jeremoth appears several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals, which can sometimes lead to confusion. In this context, Jeremoth is part of the genealogical record, contributing to the chronicler's goal of documenting the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin. The repetition of names like Jeremoth in various genealogies highlights the commonality of certain names and the importance of distinguishing individuals through their familial connections. This practice reflects the cultural emphasis on ancestry and the continuity of family lines in ancient Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahio.htm">Ahio</a></b><br>A descendant of Benjamin, mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe.
