What Does 1 Chronicles 8:3 Mean?
Attention narrows from Benjamin's sons to the household of Bela, the firstborn. Tracing the eldest line first follows the pattern of these genealogies, which move outward from the chief branches.
Among these names is Abihud, meaning 'my father is majesty' -- a small confession of praise folded into a family record. Even in a bare list, parents wove their hopes and worship into the names they gave. Our ordinary choices can carry testimony to the One we honor.
