Berechiah

Male · 1 cross reference

This Berechiah entry refers to one of Zerubbabel's sons in the Davidic genealogy, not to the Ephraimite chief or the Levitical figure of the same name. He belongs to the later generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:20.1

AI summary: This Berechiah matters because his single cross reference extends the Davidic family record beyond Zerubbabel into the quieter generations of post-exilic continuity. Even a brief listing helps sustain the sense that the royal line remains remembered. Taken together, the material presents this Berechiah as a descendant within the preserved house of David.1
