Heber

Meaning: one that passes; anger · Male · 1 cross reference

This Heber entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 8:22, not to the Benjaminite in verse 17, the Gadite head, or the Judahite figure in 1 Chronicles 4. He belongs to the compact genealogical material preserving Benjamin's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 8:22.1

AI summary: This Heber matters because his single cross reference helps define one Benjaminite sibling group within the broader tribal record. Even without a narrative role, the entry contributes to the continuity and specificity of Benjamin's preserved family memory. Taken together, the material presents this Heber as a genealogical figure within the tribe of Benjamin.1
