The genealogical record here serves to establish lineage and continuity among the tribes of Israel, particularly the tribe of Benjamin. Genealogies in the Bible often emphasize the importance of family heritage and God's faithfulness through generations. The name "Jarah" is not widely mentioned elsewhere, highlighting the often obscure yet significant roles individuals played in biblical history.<p><b>Jarah was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri;</b><br>Jarah's descendants, Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri, are listed, continuing the genealogical record. Alemeth is also a name associated with a Levitical city in the territory of Benjamin, suggesting a possible connection to priestly duties or land inheritance. Azmaveth is a name that appears in other contexts, such as a warrior in David's army, indicating the potential for martial or leadership roles within the family. Zimri, another descendant, shares a name with a king of Israel, though they are not the same person. These names reflect the cultural practice of naming children after notable figures or places, reinforcing identity and heritage.<p><b>and Zimri was the father of Moza.</b><br>The lineage continues with Moza, a name that appears in other genealogical records, emphasizing the importance of family lines in maintaining tribal identity and fulfilling God's promises to Israel. The genealogical records in Chronicles often serve to connect the post-exilic community to their ancestral roots, providing a sense of continuity and hope.
