Ishbah

Male · 1 cross reference

Ishbah is a Judahite family figure in 1 Chronicles 4 and the father of Jered, Jekuthiel, and Heber. He belongs to the domestic and genealogical setting through which Judah's family lines are carried. First appears in 1 Chr 4:17.1

AI summary: Ishbah matters because his single cross reference preserves one branch of Judah's family record through named children and household connections. Even without a narrative role, the entry adds structure and texture to the tribe's preserved memory. Taken together, the material presents Ishbah as a family figure within Judah's genealogy.1
