Mesha

Meaning: burden; salvation · Male · 1 cross reference

This Mesha entry refers to Caleb's eldest son in 1 Chronicles 2:42, not to the Moabite king or the Benjaminite family figure. He belongs to the Judahite family line associated with Caleb and his descendants. First appears in 1 Chr 2:42.1

AI summary: This Mesha matters because his single cross reference carries one of Caleb's lines forward through a remembered father-son link. The entry contributes to the continuity of one of Judah's most respected family traditions. Taken together, the material presents this Mesha as a Judahite family figure within Caleb's line.1
