Overview
Mirma appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 8 as a descendant of Benjamin through Shaharaim. These genealogies, while containing names that appear only briefly in Scripture, serve to establish the historical continuity and legitimacy of Israel's tribes and their family lines throughout biblical history.
Key Scriptures
"And Shaharaim had children in the country of Moab, after he had sent away Hushim and Baara his wives. He had children by Hodesh his wife: Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz, Sachia, and Mirmah. These were the sons of Shaharaim" (1 Chronicles 8:8-9, ESV).
Application
Though Mirma's name appears only in genealogical records, his inclusion reminds believers that God values and remembers the details of His people's history and lineage throughout all generations.
