in ancient Israel, which were crucial for establishing tribal identity, inheritance rights, and fulfilling covenant promises. Genealogies served as a means to preserve the history and lineage of the tribes of Israel, ensuring that the promises made to the patriarchs were remembered and passed down through generations. The emphasis on clans underscores the communal and familial nature of Israelite society, where identity was closely tied to one's family and tribe.<p><b>Jeiel the chief:</b><br>Jeiel is noted as the chief, indicating a position of leadership or prominence within his clan. The role of a chief would involve responsibilities such as governance, military leadership, and religious duties. This reflects the tribal structure of ancient Israel, where leadership was often hereditary and based on family lineage. The mention of Jeiel as chief suggests he was a person of influence and authority, possibly involved in decision-making processes for his clan.<p><b>Zechariah:</b><br>Zechariah, a common name in the Old Testament, means "Yahweh remembers." This name is significant as it reflects the faithfulness of God in remembering His covenant with Israel. The presence of a Zechariah in this genealogy may also connect to the broader biblical theme of God's remembrance and faithfulness to His people. While this specific Zechariah is not detailed further in this passage, the name itself carries theological weight, reminding readers of God's ongoing relationship with His people throughout history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeiel.htm">Jeiel</a></b><br>Identified as the chief among his relatives, Jeiel holds a position of leadership within his family.

Jeiel was the chief of the second Reubenite clan, as Beerah of the first. Zechariah and Bela were heads of the other chief houses. It appears that these four chieftains correspond to the four divisions of Reuben mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/5-3.htm" title="The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.">1Chronicles 5:3</a>. <a href="/numbers/26-7.htm" title="These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty.">Numbers 26:7</a> says expressly that "the Hanochite, the Palluite, the Hezronite, and the Carmite" were "the clans of the Reubenite." . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 7, 8.</span> - Of <span class="cmt_word">Jeiel, Zechariah, Bela</span>, and <span class="cmt_word">Asaz</span> nothing further is known. <span class="cmt_word">Shema</span> and <span class="cmt_word">Joel</span> may be those of ver. 4, as above.
