The name "Onam" in Hebrew (אוֹנָם) can be associated with strength or vigor. In the context of genealogies, the mention of sons signifies the continuation of a family line, which was crucial in ancient Israelite society for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights. This lineage reflects God's faithfulness in preserving the tribes of Israel, fulfilling His promises to Abraham about his descendants.<p><b>Shammai and Jada</b><br />These are the sons of Onam. The name "Shammai" (שַׁמַּי) can mean "astonishment" or "desolation," while "Jada" (יָדָע) means "he knew" or "knowledge." The naming of individuals often carried significant meaning, reflecting either the circumstances of their birth or the hopes and prayers of their parents. In a broader theological context, these names remind us of the human experience of awe and understanding in relation to God's work in the world.<p><b>The sons of Shammai</b><br />This phrase transitions to the next generation, emphasizing the importance of family continuity. In the Hebrew culture, genealogies were not just records of ancestry but were also testimonies of God's providence and the unfolding of His divine plan through human history. Each generation had a role in the larger narrative of God's people.<p><b>Nadab and Abishur</b><br />These are the sons of Shammai. "Nadab" (נָדָב) means "noble" or "generous," and "Abishur" (אֲבִישׁוּר) means "my father is a wall" or "father of the wall," suggesting protection and strength. These names reflect attributes that were valued in the community, such as nobility, generosity, and strength. In a spiritual sense, they can inspire believers to embody these virtues in their own lives, recognizing that each person is part of God's unfolding story.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 28.</span> -
