His name means "God praises" or "God is praised," reflecting a common practice of the Israelites to incorporate the name of God (El) into personal names. This practice underscores the cultural and religious significance of acknowledging God's sovereignty in everyday life. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to establish the continuity of God's people and their covenant relationship with Him, tracing the lineage of the tribes of Israel.<p><b>Ziph:</b><br>Ziph is a name that appears in several contexts in the Old Testament. There are two locations named Ziph in the biblical narrative: one in the hill country of Judah and another in the territory of Simeon. The Ziph in Judah is notable for its association with David, who hid from King Saul in the wilderness of Ziph (<a href="/1_samuel/23-14.htm">1 Samuel 23:14-15</a>). This connection highlights the geographical and historical significance of the name, suggesting a possible link to the tribe of Judah and its prominent role in Israel's history.<p><b>Ziphah:</b><br>Ziphah is a name that appears only in this genealogical list. The repetition of the root "Ziph" may indicate a familial or tribal connection, possibly suggesting a clan or subgroup within the larger family structure. The use of similar names within a family or tribe was common in ancient Israel, reflecting the importance of heritage and lineage.<p><b>Tiria:</b><br>Tiria is another name that is unique to this passage. The lack of additional biblical references makes it difficult to ascertain more about Tiria's role or significance. However, the inclusion of such names in the genealogies emphasizes the comprehensive nature of these records, which aim to preserve the memory and identity of all members of the Israelite community, regardless of their prominence in the biblical narrative.<p><b>Asarel:</b><br>Asarel, like Tiria, is a name that does not appear elsewhere in the Bible. The name may mean "God has bound" or "God has tied," which could imply a sense of divine connection or covenant. The genealogical records in Chronicles often serve to remind the reader of God's faithfulness to His people, even through individuals who may not have played a major role in the biblical story. The preservation of these names underscores the value placed on each member of the covenant community.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jehallelel.htm">Jehallelel</a></b><br>A lesser-known figure in the genealogies of Judah, Jehallelel is noted as the father of four sons.
