Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Zaham, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a corresponding Greek translation in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of genealogical records and tribal affiliations can be found in various Greek terms related to lineage and heritage, such as γενεά (genea, meaning "generation") and φυλή (phyle, meaning "tribe").

Usage: The name Zaham appears in genealogical contexts within the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of Judah.

Context: • Zaham is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:24, where he is listed as a descendant of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The passage reads: "The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul." Zaham is noted as one of the sons of Shaul, indicating his place within the genealogical record of the tribe of Simeon. This mention situates Zaham within the broader narrative of the Israelite tribes and their familial lines, which were significant for maintaining tribal identity and inheritance rights.
• The name Zaham, while not extensively detailed in biblical narratives, contributes to the understanding of the tribal and familial structures that are a recurring theme in the Old Testament. These genealogies often serve to establish historical and theological continuity from the patriarchs to the later generations of Israel.
