Overview
Zoheth appears in the genealogical table of Judah as a son of Ishi. While little is known about his individual life or accomplishments, his inclusion in Scripture demonstrates God's attention to detail in preserving the complete family records of His people. Genealogies in Chronicles served to establish tribal identity and inheritance rights among the returning exiles.
Key Scriptures
"The sons of Ishi were Zoheth and Ben-Zoheth" (1 Chronicles 4:20, ESV).
"Now the sons of Judah were Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal" (1 Chronicles 2:5, ESV). This broader genealogical context shows how Zoheth's line fit within Judah's tribal structure.
Application
Zoheth's mention reminds us that God values every person and family line, and that obscurity in biblical narrative does not diminish a person's significance in God's sight or plan.
