Naaman

Male · 2 cross references

This Naaman entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in the tribal genealogies, not to Naaman the Syrian commander in Kings. He belongs to the lineage material that preserves Benjamin's internal family structure. First appears in Num 26:40.1

AI summary: This Naaman matters because his cross references place him among the descendants and branches through which Benjamin's tribal memory is maintained. The name is easy to confuse with the better-known Syrian military figure, but here its function is genealogical. Taken together, the material presents this Naaman as a Benjaminite family link rather than a narrative character.1
