His name appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the books of 1 Chronicles, where he is identified as a descendant of Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. The name "Mikloth" is believed to mean "staves" or "rods," though the exact etymology is not definitively established.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context</b><br><br>Mikloth is introduced in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles, which provide a detailed account of the lineage of the tribes of Israel. In <a href="/1_chronicles/8-32.htm">1 Chronicles 8:32</a>, Mikloth is listed as a son of Shimeah, who is a descendant of King Saul, the first king of Israel. The passage states: "Mikloth was the father of Shimeam. They also lived alongside their relatives in Jerusalem." This indicates that Mikloth's family had a presence in Jerusalem, the central city of worship and governance for the Israelites.<br><br>In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-37.htm">1 Chronicles 9:37</a>, Mikloth is again mentioned in the genealogical records, affirming his place within the tribe of Benjamin. The verse reads: "Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth." This listing situates Mikloth among other notable Benjamite figures, underscoring his role within the tribal structure.<br><br><b>Role and Significance</b><br><br>While the biblical text does not provide extensive details about Mikloth's life or deeds, his inclusion in the genealogies highlights the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The genealogies serve to connect the people of Israel to their patriarchal ancestors, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His chosen people.<br><br>Mikloth's presence in Jerusalem, as noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/8-32.htm">1 Chronicles 8:32</a>, suggests that his family was part of the community that resided in the city, which held significant religious and political importance. Jerusalem was the site of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship, and the seat of the Davidic monarchy. Thus, Mikloth's family may have been involved in the religious or civic life of the city.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the mention of Mikloth in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles underscores the biblical theme of God's faithfulness to His promises. The genealogies trace the lineage of the tribes of Israel, demonstrating God's ongoing relationship with His people through successive generations. Mikloth's inclusion in these records serves as a testament to the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel.<br><br>Furthermore, the genealogies in 1 Chronicles, including the mention of Mikloth, highlight the importance of each individual's role within the larger narrative of God's redemptive plan. Although Mikloth himself may not be a prominent figure, his place in the genealogical record contributes to the overarching account of God's work in history.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>Mikloth, though a relatively obscure figure in the biblical text, is an integral part of the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. His mention in 1 Chronicles reflects the significance of family lineage in the biblical narrative and underscores the continuity of God's covenant with His people. Through Mikloth and others like him, the Bible presents a tapestry of individuals who collectively bear witness to God's faithfulness throughout the generations.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mikloth</span><p>little wants; little voices; looking downward<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mikloth</span><p>(<i>staves</i>). <ol> <li>One of the sons of Jehiel, the father or prince of Gibeon, by his wife Maachah.
