Bible Person

Ishi

Meaning: salvation · Male · 1 cross reference

This Ishi entry refers to the father of Ben-zoheth and Zoheth in 1 Chronicles 4, not to the Judahite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 2 or the Simeonite figures elsewhere. He belongs to the smaller clan material preserving Judah's internal branches. First appears in 1 Chr 4:20.1

AI summary: This Ishi matters because his single cross reference preserves one more father-son cluster within Judah's fine-grained genealogical framework. The entry helps sustain the continuity and specificity of the tribal record. Taken together, the material presents this Ishi as a family figure in Judah's preserved genealogy.1
