The descendants of Mishma
This phrase introduces us to a genealogical record, a common feature in the Chronicles. The name "Mishma" is derived from the Hebrew root "שָׁמַע" (shama), meaning "to hear" or "to listen." This suggests a lineage that is attentive to God's word, emphasizing the importance of spiritual heritage and obedience in the life of believers. In the broader context of 1 Chronicles, genealogies serve to connect the post-exilic community to their ancestral roots, reinforcing their identity as God's chosen people.

Hammuel his son
The name "Hammuel" can be translated as "heat of God" or "wrath of God," from the Hebrew roots "חַם" (cham), meaning "heat," and "אֵל" (El), meaning "God." This name may reflect a period of divine judgment or fervor in the family's history. It serves as a reminder of God's righteous nature and the importance of living in accordance with His will to avoid His wrath. The mention of Hammuel underscores the continuity of God's presence and influence across generations.

Zaccur his son
"Zaccur" means "mindful" or "remembered" in Hebrew, from the root "זָכַר" (zakar). This name highlights the theme of remembrance, a crucial aspect of the Israelite faith. It calls believers to remember God's past deeds, His covenant promises, and their own responsibilities as His people. In the context of Chronicles, remembering is an act of faith that strengthens the community's resolve to live according to God's statutes.

Shimei his son
The name "Shimei" is derived from the Hebrew root "שָׁמַע" (shama), similar to Mishma, meaning "to hear" or "to listen." This repetition of a root word within the genealogy emphasizes the importance of listening to God. It serves as a call to the faithful to be attentive to God's voice, to heed His commandments, and to pass down this spiritual discipline to future generations. Shimei's inclusion in the genealogy reinforces the idea that listening to God is foundational to a life of faith and obedience.
