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

Usage: The name Lahad appears in genealogical records within the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the descendants of Judah.

Context: • Lahad is mentioned in the genealogical listings of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as one of the sons of Jahath, who is a descendant of Judah through his son Zerah. The mention of Lahad is brief and occurs in the context of listing the families and clans that descended from Judah, highlighting the extensive lineage and the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the multiplication of his descendants.
• The reference to Lahad can be found in 1 Chronicles 4:2, which states: "Reaiah son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites." (BSB)
• The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to establish the historical and tribal context of the Israelites, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people through the generations. Lahad, though not a prominent figure, is part of this larger narrative that underscores the faithfulness of God in preserving the lineage of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come.
