Study note
Setting — The chronicler records a Benjamite family line, moving from the preceding generation of family heads to the offspring of a specific wife. The text functions as a structured genealogical ledger marking generational succession.
The words — הוֹלִיד (ho.Lid) translates literally to "he fathered," and חֻשִׁים (chu.Shim) identifies the mother, Hushim. These terms anchor the verse in biological and legal lineage documentation.
The thread — The record immediately connects to 1 Chronicles 8:10, which lists the preceding generation as family heads, and 1 Chronicles 8:12, which details the sons of Elpaal. This creates a continuous genealogical chain without interruption.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge the documented continuity of a specific family line. It establishes a factual baseline for subsequent tribal and royal histories without offering commentary.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
