Omri

Meaning: sheaf of corn · Male · 1 cross reference

This Omri entry refers to a Benjaminite family figure in 1 Chronicles 7:8, not to the tribal ruler in David's administration or the Judahite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 9. He belongs to the internal genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. First appears in 1 Chr 7:8.1

AI summary: This Omri matters because his single cross reference helps define one branch of Benjamin's family record through a remembered sibling group. Even without a narrative role, the entry contributes to the tribe's detailed continuity. Taken together, the material presents this Omri as a Benjaminite family figure in the preserved genealogy.1
