In this context, it likely refers to a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name Azmaveth means "strong as death" or "death is strong," which may reflect the resilience or the historical experiences of this group. The mention of descendants indicates a lineage or family group, emphasizing the importance of genealogical records for the returning exiles. This was crucial for re-establishing tribal and familial identities in post-exilic Israel.<p><b>42;</b><br>The number 42 here represents the count of male members from the family of Azmaveth who returned to Jerusalem and Judah. This specific number highlights the detailed record-keeping of the returning exiles, which was essential for the restoration of the community and religious practices. The precision in numbers underscores the historical reliability of the text and the importance of each family in the rebuilding process. This attention to detail reflects the broader biblical theme of God's faithfulness in preserving His people, as seen in other genealogical records throughout Scripture, such as in the books of Chronicles and the genealogies of Jesus in the Gospels.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/azmaveth.htm">Azmaveth</a></b><br>A place or possibly a person from which a group of returnees to Jerusalem originated.
