Overview
Mikloth is mentioned briefly in 1 Chronicles as both a genealogical descendant of King Saul and as a military officer in David's administration. He appears in lists documenting the tribe of Benjamin and the organization of David's military forces, indicating his role in Israel's leadership structure during the united monarchy.
Key Scriptures
"Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchi-shua, Abinadab, and Esh-baal" (1 Chronicles 8:33, NASB). "And the sons of Micah were Pithon, Melech, Taphenes, and Ahaz" (1 Chronicles 9:37, NASB). "And Mikloth begot Shimeam" (1 Chronicles 9:38, NASB). "And over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel; and in his division were twenty-four thousand" (1 Chronicles 27:2, NASB).
Application
Though Mikloth's role was small, his inclusion in Scripture reminds us that God preserves the names and records of faithful servants, whether they hold prominent positions or serve quietly in supporting roles.
