Bible Person
Meaning: lily; rose; joy; flax · Male · 3 cross references
Sheshan is a Judahite family head remembered for having no sons and for extending his line through his daughter Ahlai and his servant Jarha. He stands out within the genealogy because his household is preserved through an unusual family arrangement. First appears in 1 Chr 2:31.1
AI summary: Sheshan matters because the cross references preserve a rare genealogical adaptation in which continuity is maintained through a daughter and a servant marriage rather than a standard male line. That detail gives his entry unusual narrative texture inside an otherwise compressed lineage. Taken together, the material presents Sheshan as a Judahite ancestor whose household record highlights the flexibility used to preserve family continuity.1
