Jump to: Hitchcock's • Smith's • ISBE • Concordance • Thesaurus • Hebrew • Library • Subtopics • Terms Topical Encyclopedia Tilon is a relatively obscure figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the Old Testament. He is listed as one of the descendants of Judah, specifically within the lineage of Shobal, who was a son of Hur. The reference to Tilon can be found in the First Book of Chronicles, which provides a detailed account of the genealogies of the tribes of Israel.Biblical Reference: 1 Chronicles 4:20 : "The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. The descendants of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth." In this passage, Tilon is identified as one of the sons of Shimon. The context of this genealogy is part of a broader listing of the descendants of Judah, which serves to establish the tribal and familial lines that were significant to the identity and history of the Israelite people. The genealogies in Chronicles are crucial for understanding the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, particularly the promise of land, nationhood, and blessing. Historical and Theological Context: The genealogies in 1 Chronicles are not merely historical records but are also theological documents that underscore the faithfulness of God in preserving the lineage of His chosen people. The Chronicler, writing after the Babylonian exile, sought to remind the Israelites of their heritage and the continuity of God's covenantal promises. Each name, including Tilon's, represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive history. Tilon's mention, though brief, contributes to the larger narrative of the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would descend. This connection to Judah is significant, as it highlights the tribe's prominence and the fulfillment of Jacob's blessing over Judah, as recorded in Genesis 49:10, which foretells the scepter not departing from Judah. Cultural and Genealogical Significance: In ancient Israelite culture, genealogies were vital for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliation. They served as a means of preserving family history and ensuring the transmission of land and property within the tribe. For the post-exilic community, these records were essential for re-establishing their place in the Promised Land and maintaining their distinct identity as God's chosen people. While Tilon himself may not be a prominent figure with a detailed narrative, his inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the importance of every individual in the unfolding of God's plan. Each name in the genealogy, including Tilon's, represents a testimony to God's providence and the intricate tapestry of His divine purposes throughout history.
