Hodaiah

Meaning: the praise of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

Hodaiah is one of the descendants in the Davidic genealogy of 1 Chronicles 3. He belongs to the later generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:24.1

AI summary: Hodaiah matters because his single cross reference extends the Davidic family record into the quieter generations after the monarchy's collapse. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved royal line. Taken together, the material presents Hodaiah as a descendant within the house of David.1
