Segub

Meaning: fortified; raised · Male · 2 cross references

Segub is a Judahite descendant in the line connected with Jair and the mixed family links of Machir's house. He belongs to the clan material through which Chronicles preserves inheritance and descent. First appears in 1 Chr 2:21.1

AI summary: Segub matters because his cross references place him in a family sequence that links Judahite descent with the later prominence of Jair. Even without a narrative role of his own, he helps hold together an important genealogical transition between generations. Taken together, the material presents Segub as a family link in the wider clan structure of Judah.1
