Melech

Meaning: king; counselor · Male · 2 cross references

Melech is a descendant of Jonathan and grandson within the line associated with Mephibosheth in the Benjaminite genealogies. He belongs to the preserved family memory of Saul's wider house. First appears in 1 Chr 8:35.1

AI summary: Melech matters because his cross references place him within the continuation of Saul's lineage after the kingdom's transfer to David. The genealogies do not give him a narrative role, but they do show that Saul's family remained remembered and structured across generations. Taken together, the material presents Melech as one of the later descendants who carry the record of that royal house forward.1
