Ziphah

Ziphah was a son of Jehalelel in the tribe of Judah during the genealogies recorded in 1 Chronicles. Little is known about him beyond his lineage.

Overview

Ziphah appears in the genealogical records of Judah as the son of Jehalelel. He is mentioned only once in Scripture within the extended family line of Judah, representing the descendants of the tribe during the post-patriarchal period. His inclusion in the biblical genealogy affirms God's sovereign care in preserving and recording the lineage of His covenant people.

Key Scriptures

"The sons of Jehalelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel." (1 Chronicles 4:16, ESV)

Application

Though Ziphah's life is not detailed in Scripture, his name preserved in God's Word reminds us that faithfulness in our family line and inheritance matters to the Lord, even when our individual stories remain largely unrecorded.
