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

Usage: The name Shacharajim appears in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin in the Old Testament.

Context: Shacharajim is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:8 as a descendant of Benjamin. He is noted as the father of children in the land of Moab after sending away his wives Hushim and Baara. The context suggests that Shacharajim was a significant figure within the tribe of Benjamin, contributing to the genealogical lineage that is meticulously recorded in the Chronicles. The mention of his actions in Moab indicates a period of settlement or influence outside the traditional boundaries of Israel, reflecting the complex interactions between the Israelites and neighboring peoples.
