Ahoah

Meaning: a live brother; my thorn or thistle · Male · 1 cross reference

Ahoah is a Benjaminite son of Bela whose descendants are associated with the Ahohites. He belongs to the ancestral material that helps explain later family names in Israel's history. First appears in 1 Chr 8:4.1

AI summary: Ahoah matters because his single cross reference places him at the root of a family designation later carried by notable warriors. The entry therefore links a compact genealogy to later narrative memory in a meaningful way. Taken together, the material presents Ahoah as a Benjaminite ancestral figure whose line leaves a recognizable mark on later tradition.1
