This Meshullam entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 8:17, not to the Gadite chief, wall-builders, covenant signers, or other namesakes elsewhere. He belongs to the compact genealogical material preserving the tribe's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 8:17.1

AI summary: This Meshullam matters because his single cross reference contributes one more name to Benjamin's densely layered family record. Even a brief genealogical entry helps preserve the continuity and detail of the tribe's internal structure. Taken together, the material presents this Meshullam as a Benjaminite family figure in the preserved genealogy.1
