1 Chronicles 7:8 (KJV)

What does 1 Chronicles 7:8 mean?

1 Chronicles 7:8 lists the sons of Becher, naming Zemira, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jerimoth, Abiah, Anathoth, and Alameth as his descendants. This verse is part of a genealogical record, showing the family line of Becher within the tribe of Benjamin.

The book of 1 Chronicles was written to document the ancestry and tribal divisions of Israel, especially after the exile. In this section, the chronicler is recording the descendants of Benjamin for the returned Jewish community. Naming these individuals helps establish their family heritage and their place among the tribes of Israel.
