Eleasah
The name "Eleasah" is of Hebrew origin, meaning "God has made" or "God has done." This name reflects a deep acknowledgment of divine action and providence in the lives of individuals. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Eleasah represents a link in the chain of Israel's history, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people. The mention of Eleasah serves as a reminder of the personal nature of God's involvement in the lineage of His chosen people, underscoring the belief that each generation is part of a divine plan.

was the father of
This phrase indicates the generational lineage that is central to the genealogies in Chronicles. The Hebrew root for "father" is "אב" (ab), which not only signifies a biological relationship but also conveys a sense of origin, authority, and responsibility. In the biblical context, being a father is not merely about procreation but also about imparting faith, values, and traditions to the next generation. This phrase highlights the importance of family and heritage in the biblical narrative, where each generation is tasked with preserving and passing on the covenantal promises of God.

Sismai
The name "Sismai" is less common in the biblical text, and its exact meaning is not definitively known. However, it is believed to be of Hebrew origin, possibly meaning "hearing" or "obedient." The inclusion of Sismai in the genealogy underscores the significance of every individual in God's unfolding plan. Even those whose accounts are not elaborated upon in Scripture are acknowledged as part of the sacred history, reminding us that every life has value and purpose in the eyes of God.

Sismai of
This phrase reiterates the generational connection, emphasizing the continuity of the family line. The repetition of names and relationships in biblical genealogies serves to reinforce the idea of an unbroken chain of faith and tradition. It also reflects the communal nature of Israelite society, where identity and belonging are closely tied to one's family and tribal affiliations.

Shallum
The name "Shallum" is derived from the Hebrew root "שלם" (shalom), meaning "peace" or "completeness." Shallum's inclusion in the genealogy is significant, as it evokes the biblical theme of peace and wholeness that is central to God's covenant with His people. The name serves as a reminder of the ultimate goal of God's redemptive plan: to bring about peace and restoration to a broken world. In the context of Chronicles, Shallum represents the hope and promise of God's enduring faithfulness to His covenant, pointing forward to the coming of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
