Helah

Helah was one of the wives of Ashhur in the genealogy of Judah, mother of several sons listed in 1 Chronicles. While limited biblical information exists about her, she represents the faithful lineage through which God's people were preserved.

Overview

Helah appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as the wife of Ashhur, the father of Tekoa. She bore several sons who became part of the tribal heritage of Judah, contributing to the genealogical line preserved by God throughout Israel's history.

Key Scriptures

"Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. The sons of Helah were Zereth, Izhar, and Ethnan." (1 Chronicles 4:5-7, ESV)

Application

Though Helah's story receives minimal scriptural attention, her inclusion in God's Word reminds us that every faithful believer, regardless of prominence, plays an important role in God's redemptive plan and family legacy.
