Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Chelon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The name Chelon appears in genealogical records within the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the context of the descendants of Judah.

Context: Chelon is mentioned in the genealogical listings of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 4:1, Chelon is listed as one of the sons of Hur, who is a descendant of Judah. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and tribal affiliations of the Israelites, particularly focusing on the tribe of Judah, which holds significant importance due to its association with King David and the Davidic line. Chelon's mention, though brief, contributes to the broader narrative of Judah's descendants and their roles in the history of Israel.
