Ishpan
Ishpan is listed among the descendants of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Benjamin held a significant position in Israel's history, being the tribe of King Saul, the first king of Israel. The name Ishpan itself is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, which suggests that he may not have been a prominent figure in biblical narratives. However, his inclusion in the genealogical records underscores the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite culture. Genealogies served to establish identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations, which were crucial for maintaining the social and religious structure of the Israelite community.

Eber
Eber is a name that appears multiple times in biblical genealogies, most notably as an ancestor of Abraham in the line of Shem, one of Noah's sons. The name Eber is significant because it is associated with the term "Hebrew," which is used to describe the descendants of Abraham. This connection highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises through specific family lines. In the context of 1 Chronicles 8, Eber is a descendant of Benjamin, emphasizing the tribe's integration into the broader narrative of Israel's history. The genealogical record serves to affirm the tribe's role in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.

Eliel
Eliel is another name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. The name means "My God is God," reflecting the theocentric nature of Israelite names and their emphasis on the relationship with God. Eliel's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of individual members within the tribe, each contributing to the collective identity and mission of Israel. While Eliel may not be a prominent figure in biblical stories, his presence in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the faithfulness of God to all members of His covenant people, regardless of their individual renown. The genealogical records in Chronicles often highlight the continuity of God's promises and the faithfulness of His people across generations.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Ishpan
A descendant of Benjamin, Ishpan is listed among the sons of Shashak. His name means "hidden" or "treasure," which may imply a person of value or significance within his family or tribe.

2. Eber
Another descendant of Benjamin, Eber's name means "beyond" or "the region across." This name is significant in the Hebrew tradition, as it is also the name of an ancestor of the Hebrews, suggesting a connection to the broader account of God's people.

3. Eliel
Also a descendant of Benjamin, Eliel's name means "my God is God." This name reflects a strong theistic belief and may indicate a person of faith or religious significance within the tribe.
Teaching Points
The Importance of Genealogy
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 plan and the importance of family heritage in faith.

Names Reflecting Faith
The meanings of names like Eliel ("my God is God") remind us of the importance of having a name and identity rooted in faith. Our identity in Christ should be evident in how we live and interact with others.

Continuity of God's Promise
The mention of individuals like Eber connects us to the broader account of God's promise to His people. It encourages us to see our lives as part of God's ongoing account of redemption.

Value of the Individual
Even seemingly obscure individuals in genealogies have significance. This teaches us that every person has value and a role in God's kingdom, no matter how small or hidden they may seem.(22-25) Eleven sons of Shashak (1Chronicles 8:14), followed by six sons of Jeroham (Jeremoth, 1Chronicles 8:14) in 1Chronicles 8:26-27. The recurrence of the same names in the five groups is noticeable. Thus, a Zichri appears among the sons of Shimei (1Chronicles 8:19), among the sons of Shashak (1Chronicles 8:23), and among the sons of Jeroham (1Chronicles 8:27). Of course the name may have been thus frequent among the Benjamite clans dwelling in Jerusalem. But it is possible to see in the fact an indication that, at the time when the present register was framed, some of these houses were no longer able to trace their pedigrees with certainty to one famous name rather than another. . . .
