What Does 1 Chronicles 7:10 Mean?
The third of Benjamin's sons, Jediael, is traced through Bilhan to seven heads of households. Among them appears the name Ehud, recalling the deliverer of that name who once freed Israel from oppression.
The recurrence of cherished names knit each new generation to the memory of God's past mercies. To carry an ancestor's name was to carry a hope that the Lord who delivered before would deliver again. So even a list of names becomes a thread of expectation reaching toward the great Deliverer to come.
