This Ulam entry refers to a Manassite family figure and father of Bedan, not to the Benjaminite descendant whose sons are archers. He belongs to the internal clan history of Manasseh. First appears in 1 Chr 7:16.1

AI summary: This Ulam matters because his cross references place him within a compact family sequence in the tribe of Manasseh, helping preserve a branch of descent through named generations. The distinction from the Benjaminite Ulam is important because identical names recur across tribal lines. Taken together, the material presents this Ulam as a Manassite family figure in the tribe's recorded lineage.1
