Overview
Temeni appears in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as a son of Naarah and a descendant of Judah. While Scripture provides no narrative details about his life or accomplishments, his name is preserved in God's Word as part of the historical lineage of Judah. The genealogies of Chronicles serve to establish the continuity of God's covenant people and demonstrate His faithfulness in preserving a remnant through generations.
Key Scriptures
"And Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari." (1 Chronicles 4:6, ESV)
"Thus all Israel was recorded in genealogies, and these are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel." (1 Chronicles 9:1, ESV)
Application
Like Temeni, our lives matter to God regardless of how prominent a role we play in history; we can trust that He knows and values each of His people.
