Seraiah

Meaning: prince of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references

This Seraiah entry refers to the father of Joab in the Judahite genealogies, not to Jeremiah's associate or the military officer after Jerusalem's fall. He belongs to the clan history preserved in Chronicles. First appears in 1 Chr 4:13.1

AI summary: This Seraiah matters because his cross references place him within a compact Judahite family line whose descendants include Joab. The entry is genealogical rather than narrative, but it helps preserve the branching structure of Judah's remembered descent. Taken together, the material presents this Seraiah as a family source within Chronicles' detailed clan record.1
