Jehiel

Male · 1 cross reference

This Jehiel entry refers to the son of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 21, not to the Levites, warriors, or court figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to the royal house of Judah before its internal bloodshed under Jehoram. First appears in 2 Chr 21:2.1

AI summary: This Jehiel matters because his single cross reference places him among the princes of Jehoshaphat whose presence shows the breadth of the royal family before Jehoram consolidates power. Even this brief notice adds weight to the tragedy that follows in Judah's dynastic history. Taken together, the material presents this Jehiel as a royal son whose place in the genealogy sharpens the cost of later violence.1
