1 Chronicles 8:27

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records a genealogical list of Jeroham’s descendants amid a broader tribal register, positioned between the names of his other relatives and a summary statement about their status.

The words — בְּנֵ֥י (be.Nei) = sons of, establishes the direct paternal relationship that structures the entire entry.

The thread — This formulaic linkage appears in the surrounding genealogical sequence at 1 Chronicles 8:26 and 1 Chronicles 8:28, where individual names are consistently bound to their ancestral heads.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to track lineage and recognize how family structure underpins the historical and tribal record without adding commentary.
