Bible Person

Asahel

Meaning: creature of God · Male · 1 cross reference

This Asahel entry refers to the Levite sent out to teach the law under Jehoshaphat, not to the officer in Hezekiah's reform or the post-exilic opponent in Ezra 10. He belongs to the instructional ministry of royal reform. First appears in 2 Chr 17:8.1

AI summary: This Asahel matters because his single cross reference places him in the mission to spread knowledge of the law throughout Judah. The entry shows that covenant renewal depended on teachers as well as kings and priests. Taken together, the material presents this Asahel as a Levite participant in the educational work of reform.1
