Iphdeiah
Iphdeiah is a name that appears in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. The name itself means "Yahweh will redeem" or "Yahweh redeems," which reflects a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize God's redemptive power. This name is not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, indicating that Iphdeiah may not have been a prominent figure in biblical narratives. However, the inclusion of his name in the genealogies underscores the importance of each individual in the lineage of Israel, highlighting the value placed on family heritage and continuity within the tribes.

and Penuel
Penuel, meaning "face of God," is a name that carries significant biblical resonance. It is reminiscent of the place where Jacob wrestled with God and saw Him face to face, as recorded in Genesis 32:30. This connection may suggest a spiritual heritage or aspiration within the family line. The name Penuel also appears in other contexts, such as a city in the territory of Gad, which was fortified by Jeroboam (1 Kings 12:25). The recurrence of this name in various forms throughout the Bible indicates its cultural and spiritual significance.

were the sons of Shashak
Shashak is listed as a descendant of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial context of the tribes, particularly after the Babylonian exile when re-establishing identity was crucial. The mention of Shashak and his sons, including Iphdeiah and Penuel, contributes to the broader narrative of the tribe of Benjamin's restoration and continuity. This lineage emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs regarding the multiplication and endurance of their descendants. The genealogical records also serve to connect the post-exilic community with their ancestral past, reinforcing their identity as God's chosen people.
