1 Chronicles 8:15

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler continues a structured genealogical register of the tribe of Benjamin, listing descendants of Bela as part of a post-exilic record meant to preserve tribal identity.

The words — Zebadiah [H2069] literally means Yahweh has given, and Eder [H5738] denotes a flock or fortified enclosure.

The thread — This verse functions as a contiguous link in a patriarchal lineage, extending the Benjamite clan list from (1 Chronicles 8:14) into (1 Chronicles 8:16) without narrative interruption or commentary.

Why it lands — A reader must verify the precise transmission of these names to confirm ancestral claims and maintain the documented continuity of Israel’s tribal structure.
