Heman

Meaning: their trouble; tumult; much; in great number · Male · 1 cross reference

This Heman entry refers to one of the sons of Zerah in 1 Chronicles 2, not to the better-known singer and seer of David's time. He belongs to the family tradition of wise figures from Judah. First appears in 1 Chr 2:6.1

AI summary: This Heman matters because his single cross reference helps preserve the household from which later wisdom associations emerge. Even where the narrative focus is slight, the genealogical entry supports the wider biblical memory of notable wise men. Taken together, the material presents this Heman as a Judahite family figure linked to wisdom tradition.1
