Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Atsel, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

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

Context: Atsel is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. He is noted as a descendant of King Saul, appearing in the lists of family heads and warriors. The name Atsel is found in 1 Chronicles 8:37-38 and 1 Chronicles 9:43-44, where he is listed among the sons of Azel, a descendant of Jonathan, the son of King Saul. These passages highlight the continuation of Saul's lineage and the importance of family heritage in the tribal structure of ancient Israel. Atsel's mention in these genealogies underscores the chronicler's interest in preserving the history and legacy of the Benjamite tribe, particularly in the post-exilic period when the restoration of tribal identities was significant.
