Huppim

Huppim is a figure connected with the genealogical material of Manasseh and Benjamin in Chronicles, appearing in a compact family setting with Shuppim and Maachah. He belongs to the complex internal memory of tribal descent. First appears in 1 Chr 7:12.1

AI summary: Huppim matters because the cross references place him within one of the more compressed and difficult genealogical sections of Chronicles, where family lines are carefully preserved despite textual complexity. His inclusion reflects the Chronicler's concern to retain tribal continuity even where the record is dense. Taken together, the material presents Huppim as a genealogical figure whose place supports the continuity of Israel's tribal memory.1
