Johanan

Meaning: who is liberal or merciful · Male · 1 cross reference

This Johanan entry refers to a later Davidic descendant in 1 Chronicles 3:24, not to Josiah's son, the warriors, or the post-exilic figures elsewhere. He belongs to the later generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:24.1

AI summary: This Johanan matters because his single cross reference extends the Davidic family record into the quieter post-exilic generations. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved royal line. Taken together, the material presents this Johanan as a descendant within the house of David.1
