33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan














He also had sons by Hushim
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The mention of "Hushim" is significant as it highlights the role of women in the genealogical records of the Bible, even though they are often less prominently featured. The name "Hushim" may be linked to a Hebrew root meaning "haste" or "quickness," suggesting a possible characteristic or circumstance surrounding her life or the birth of her children. In the broader scriptural context, genealogies serve to establish identity and continuity of God's people, emphasizing the fulfillment of His promises through generations.

Abitub
The name "Abitub" can be broken down into Hebrew roots: "Abi," meaning "my father," and "tub," which can mean "goodness" or "pleasantness." This name may reflect the hope or prayer of the parents for their child to embody the goodness of the father or to bring joy to the family. In the historical context of Israel, names were often prophetic or reflective of circumstances, and they carried significant weight in defining one's identity and destiny.

Elpaal
The name "Elpaal" is derived from Hebrew roots, with "El" meaning "God" and "paal" meaning "to act" or "to do." This name can be interpreted as "God acts" or "God does," signifying a recognition of divine intervention or action in the life of the individual or family. In the scriptural narrative, such names serve as reminders of God's sovereignty and active presence in the lives of His people. The inclusion of Elpaal in the genealogy underscores the belief in God's ongoing work and faithfulness across generations.

(11) And of Hushim he begat . . .--The offspring of Shaharaim by Hushim before her divorce; in other words, two offshoots of the clan Shaharaim settled in the vicinity of Lod or Lydda (1Chronicles 8:12), which took no part in the emigration to Moab.
