It is mentioned in <a href="/joshua/15-58.htm">Joshua 15:58</a> as a town in the hill country of Judah. The name Gedor means "wall" or "enclosure," which may indicate a fortified place. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Gedor is listed as a descendant of Saul, showing the continuation of Saul's lineage. This reflects the chronicler's interest in preserving the history and legacy of Israel's first king, despite his fall from favor.<p><b>Ahio</b><br>Ahio is a name that appears in several genealogies and narratives in the Old Testament. In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-37.htm">1 Chronicles 9:37</a>, Ahio is listed as a descendant of Saul, which highlights the chronicler's effort to document the family line of Israel's first king. The name Ahio means "brotherly" or "fraternal," which may suggest a sense of kinship or community.

This name underscores the theme of divine remembrance and faithfulness, which is a recurring motif throughout the Scriptures.<p><b>Mikloth</b><br>Mikloth is mentioned in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles as a descendant of Saul. The name Mikloth means "staves" or "rods," which could imply strength or leadership. In the context of 1 Chronicles, the inclusion of Mikloth in Saul's genealogy serves to document the lineage of Israel's first king, providing a historical record for the post-exilic community. This reflects the chronicler's broader purpose of affirming Israel's identity and heritage through detailed genealogical records.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gedor.htm">Gedor</a></b><br>A descendant of Saul, mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin.
