Gedor
Gedor is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with a location in the territory of Judah. It is mentioned in Joshua 15:58 as a town in the hill country of Judah. The name Gedor means "wall" or "enclosure," which may indicate a fortified place. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Gedor is listed as a descendant of Saul, showing the continuation of Saul's lineage. This reflects the chronicler's interest in preserving the history and legacy of Israel's first king, despite his fall from favor.

Ahio
Ahio is a name that appears in several genealogies and narratives in the Old Testament. In 1 Chronicles 9:37, Ahio is listed as a descendant of Saul, which highlights the chronicler's effort to document the family line of Israel's first king. The name Ahio means "brotherly" or "fraternal," which may suggest a sense of kinship or community. In other contexts, Ahio is associated with the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant (2 Samuel 6:3-4), indicating a role in significant religious events.

Zechariah
Zechariah is a common name in the Bible, meaning "Yahweh remembers." In 1 Chronicles 9:37, Zechariah is listed among the descendants of Saul, emphasizing the chronicler's focus on the continuity of Saul's family. The name Zechariah is significant in biblical history, as it is borne by several notable figures, including a prophet and a priest. This name underscores the theme of divine remembrance and faithfulness, which is a recurring motif throughout the Scriptures.

Mikloth
Mikloth is mentioned in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles as a descendant of Saul. The name Mikloth means "staves" or "rods," which could imply strength or leadership. In the context of 1 Chronicles, the inclusion of Mikloth in Saul's genealogy serves to document the lineage of Israel's first king, providing a historical record for the post-exilic community. This reflects the chronicler's broader purpose of affirming Israel's identity and heritage through detailed genealogical records.
