Uthai son of Ammihud
Uthai is a name that appears in the genealogies of the post-exilic community. The mention of his father, Ammihud, helps establish his lineage and connection to the tribe of Judah. This lineage is significant as it demonstrates the continuity of the tribe's presence and leadership in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The name Uthai means "helpful" or "my help," which may reflect the role or character of this individual within his community.

the son of Omri
Omri is a less common name in the genealogies of Judah, distinct from the more famous Omri, king of Israel. This Omri's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of maintaining detailed family records, which were crucial for establishing tribal and familial rights and responsibilities in post-exilic society.

the son of Imri
Imri is another name that appears in the genealogical records, emphasizing the importance of lineage in the Jewish community. The genealogies served not only to preserve family history but also to affirm one's place within the covenant community of Israel, especially important after the return from exile.

the son of Bani
Bani is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with the tribe of Judah. The repetition of such names in genealogies highlights the interconnectedness of families and the shared heritage of the people of Judah. It also reflects the importance of maintaining tribal identity and continuity.

a descendant of Perez son of Judah
Perez was one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar, and his lineage is significant in biblical history. Perez's descendants were prominent in the tribe of Judah, and this lineage is directly connected to the Davidic line, from which Jesus Christ is descended. The mention of Perez underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to Judah and the messianic prophecies concerning the line of David. This connection to Perez highlights the enduring significance of God's covenant with Judah and the anticipation of the coming Messiah.

Teaching Points
God's Faithfulness in Lineage
The genealogies in the Bible, such as the one in 1 Chronicles 9:4, remind us of God's faithfulness in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises through generations.

Significance of Heritage
Understanding our spiritual heritage can inspire us to live faithfully, knowing we are part of a larger account that God is writing.

Role of the Remnant
The returnees to Jerusalem, including Uthai, represent the faithful remnant. This encourages us to remain faithful even in challenging times, trusting that God will restore and use us for His purposes.

God's Sovereignty in History
The inclusion of specific individuals in genealogies underscores God's sovereign hand in history, orchestrating events and people to accomplish His divine plan.(4) Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani.--Nehemiah 11:4 traces this line thus: "Athaiah son of Uzjiah, son of Zechariah, son of Amariah, son of Shephatiah, son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez." Uthai is equivalent to Athaiah, and Imri to Amariah, by a common contraction. The other intermediate names in the two series do not coincide; but this does not prove that Uthai and Athaiah are different clans. Many more than five or six members would obviously be required to constitute a complete genealogical stem, reaching from post-exilic times to the age of the tribal patriarchs. We may therefore conclude that the compiler has chosen to select different names in each case from a longer list, which comprised both series.

Verse 4. - This verse contains a short list, with many links wanting, of descendants of Judah through Pharez, six in number, and in reverse order. .4. similar list as regards its extreme terms is that which we find in Nehemiah 11:4, but only three (Uthai, Imri, Pharez) of the six names here can be considered identical with a like number (Athaiah, Amariah, Perez) out of the seven found there. Nehemiah 11:6 adds, "The number of the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem four hundred three score and eight valiant men."
