Rephaiah

Meaning: medicine or refreshment of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Rephaiah entry refers to a later Davidic descendant in 1 Chronicles 3:21, not to the Issacharite, Simeonite, or Nehemiah-era figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the generations through which the royal line is remembered after exile. First appears in 1 Chr 3:21.1

AI summary: This Rephaiah matters because his single cross reference extends the Davidic family record into the quieter post-exilic generations. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved royal line. Taken together, the material presents this Rephaiah as a descendant within the house of David.1
