Hushim

Female · 2 cross references

This Hushim entry refers to one of Shaharaim's wives in the Benjaminite genealogies, not to the Danite Hushim in Genesis and Numbers. She belongs to the household material that gives Benjamin's family memory relational depth. First appears in 1 Chr 8:8.1

AI summary: This Hushim matters because the cross references place her within a genealogical scene where marital relationships and offspring shape the branching of Benjamin's lines. Her presence shows that even compact tribal records sometimes preserve actual household structure rather than bare male succession alone. Taken together, the material presents this Hushim as a Benjaminite matriarchal figure whose household role contributes to the social texture of the tribe.1
