This Abdon entry refers to a son of Shashak in the Benjaminite genealogies, not to the judge Abdon or the Levitical town of the same name. He belongs to the internal family structure of Benjamin. First appears in 1 Chr 8:23.1
AI summary: This Abdon matters because his cross reference places him within a named Benjaminite household sequence, where siblings and sons preserve the tribe's internal lines of descent. The entry is genealogical rather than narrative, but it contributes to the density and continuity of Benjamin's memory. Taken together, the material presents this Abdon as a Benjaminite family figure in Chronicles' tribal archive.1
