His name appears in the context of the descendants of Caleb, a prominent figure in the tribe known for his faithfulness and courage during the Israelite conquest of Canaan.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Mehir is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/4-11.htm">1 Chronicles 4:11</a>, which states: "Chelub the brother of Shuhah was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton." <br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and heritage of the tribes of Israel, particularly focusing on the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. Mehir is noted as a descendant of Chelub, who is identified as the brother of Shuhah. This places Mehir within the broader family line of Caleb, a key figure in the tribe of Judah.<br><br><b>Tribal Significance:</b><br><br>The tribe of Judah holds significant importance in biblical history. It was one of the largest and most influential tribes, known for producing leaders and kings, including David and Solomon. The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles highlight the continuity and faithfulness of God's promises to His people through the lineage of Judah.<br><br><b>Name Meaning:</b><br><br>The name "Mehir" is of Hebrew origin and is often understood to mean "price" or "reward." In the context of biblical names, meanings often reflect characteristics or prophetic insights into the individual's life or the circumstances surrounding their birth.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Insights:</b><br><br>While Mehir himself is not a prominent figure with detailed narratives in the Bible, his inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. Each name in these records contributes to the unfolding account of God's covenant with Israel and His plan for redemption through the line of Judah.<br><br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles, including the mention of Mehir, serve as a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises. They remind readers of the interconnectedness of God's plan throughout generations, leading ultimately to the coming of the Messiah.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mehir</span><p>a reward<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Mehir</span><p>(<i>price</i>), the son of Chelub the brother of Shuah.
