Jahath

Meaning: broken in pieces; descending · Male · 1 cross reference

This Jahath entry refers to a Judahite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 4 and the father of Ahumai and Lahad, not to the Levitical figures of the same name. He belongs to the smaller clan material preserving Judah's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 4:2.1

AI summary: This Jahath matters because his single cross reference helps carry Judah's family record forward through a remembered father-son link. Even a brief paternal note contributes to the continuity and detail of the tribal framework. Taken together, the material presents this Jahath as a genealogical figure within Judah's preserved lineage.1
