Bible Person

Amon

Meaning: faithful; true · Male · 2 cross references

This Amon entry refers to the servant-house or family name listed among the returnees in Ezra and Nehemiah, not to the governor in Ahab's day or King Amon of Judah. It belongs to the often-overlooked household fabric of the restored community. First appears in Ezra 2:57.1

AI summary: This Amon matters because the cross references place the name within the temple-servant returnee lists that support life in restored Jerusalem. Though there is no narrative attached, such households are part of the practical human infrastructure behind worship and settlement after exile. Taken together, the material presents this Amon as a returnee family or servant-house contributing quietly to post-exilic restoration.1
