33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan














Ahio
Ahio is mentioned as one of the descendants of Benjamin, a son of Jacob, and is part of the genealogical record in 1 Chronicles 8. The name Ahio means "brotherly" or "his brother," which reflects the importance of family and kinship in ancient Israelite culture. Ahio is also mentioned in other parts of the Bible, such as in 2 Samuel 6:3-4, where he is involved in transporting the Ark of the Covenant. This connection highlights the significance of the Benjamite lineage in the religious and national history of Israel.

Shashak
Shashak is another descendant of Benjamin listed in this genealogical account. The name Shashak is less common in the biblical text, and not much is known about him outside of this context. The inclusion of Shashak in the genealogy underscores the chronicler's intent to provide a comprehensive record of the Benjamite lineage, emphasizing the tribe's role in the broader narrative of Israel. This meticulous recording of names serves to preserve the heritage and identity of the tribes of Israel, which was crucial for maintaining the covenant community.

Jeremoth
Jeremoth is also listed among the descendants of Benjamin. The name Jeremoth appears several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals, which can sometimes lead to confusion. In this context, Jeremoth is part of the genealogical record, contributing to the chronicler's goal of documenting the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin. The repetition of names like Jeremoth in various genealogies highlights the commonality of certain names and the importance of distinguishing individuals through their familial connections. This practice reflects the cultural emphasis on ancestry and the continuity of family lines in ancient Israel.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Genealogies
Genealogies in the Bible serve to connect individuals to the larger account of God's people. They remind us of our place in God's account and the importance of family and heritage.

Understanding Our Spiritual Heritage
Just as the Israelites valued their genealogies, Christians are encouraged to understand their spiritual heritage. This includes recognizing the legacy of faith passed down through generations.

The Role of Individuals in God's Plan
Each name in a genealogy represents a life that contributed to God's unfolding plan. We are reminded that every person has a role to play in God's kingdom, no matter how small it may seem.

Community and Kinship
The names Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth remind us of the importance of community and kinship. In the body of Christ, we are called to support and uplift one another as brothers and sisters in faith.

Legacy and Influence
Our actions and faith can leave a lasting legacy for future generations. We are encouraged to live in a way that honors God and influences others positively.(14-16) Apparently nine sons of Beriah. But (1) in 1Chronicles 8:14, the LXX. reads ? ??????? ????? instead of Ahio. With different vowels the Hebrew term would mean this. (2) All the other names in this list are connected by the conjunctive particle. It is therefore likely that this was once the case with Shashak. (3) 1Chronicles 8:14-27 give five groups of Benjamite clans--viz., the sons of Beriah, the sons of Elpaal, the sons of Shimhi, the sons of Shashak, and the sons of Jeroham, all dwelling in Jerusalem. Apparently, their eponymous heads are named in 1Chronicles 8:13-14--viz., Beriah (Elpaal? omitted by accident), Shema (the same as Shimhi; there is no h in the Heb.), Shashak, and Jeremoth (probably the same as Jeroham).

If this combination hold, the text of 1Chronicles 8:14 may be thus restored: "And Elpaal his brother, and Shashak and Jeroham." Elpaal will then be brother of Beriah (1Chronicles 8:13), and perhaps son of Elpaal (1Chronicles 8:12). Shashak and Jeremoth-Jeroham, and the six following names, are sons of Beriah. . . .
