Adnah

Meaning: eternal rest · Male · 1 cross reference

This Adnah entry refers to a commander under Jehoshaphat with responsibility over a very large force, not to the Manassite chief at Ziklag. He belongs to the military organization of Judah's monarchy. First appears in 2 Chr 17:14.1

AI summary: This Adnah matters because his single cross reference places him inside Jehoshaphat's structured military order, where named leaders stand behind the kingdom's defensive strength. Even a one-verse notice contributes to the sense of organized capacity under a reforming king. Taken together, the material presents this Adnah as a military leader in Judah's prepared army.1
