Gedor
Gedor is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with a city in the territory of Judah (Joshua 15:58). It is also mentioned as a descendant of Benjamin in this context. The name Gedor means "wall" or "enclosure," which may symbolize protection or strength. The city of Gedor was known for its strategic location and fortifications, which could be a reflection of the character or role of the individual named Gedor in the genealogical record. This name highlights the importance of lineage and heritage in the chronicling of Israel's tribes.

Ahio
Ahio is another name found in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin. The name means "brotherly" or "fraternal," suggesting a sense of kinship or community. Ahio is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 6:3-4 as one of the sons of Abinadab who helped transport the Ark of the Covenant. This connection may imply a role of service or responsibility within the community. The inclusion of Ahio in the genealogy underscores the importance of family ties and the continuity of the Benjamite lineage.

Zecher
Zecher, meaning "remembrance" or "memory," is a name that emphasizes the importance of remembering one's heritage and the deeds of the past. This name is less frequently mentioned in the Bible, which may suggest a more obscure or humble role within the tribe of Benjamin. The concept of remembrance is significant in biblical theology, as it often relates to God's covenant with His people and the call to remember His works and commandments. The presence of Zecher in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy and faithfulness of the Benjamite line.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Genealogies
Genealogies in the Bible serve to connect God's people to their heritage and His promises. They remind us of God's faithfulness through generations.

Names and Their Meanings
Biblical names often carry significant meanings that reflect character or divine purpose. Understanding these can deepen our appreciation of the text.

Family and Community
The listing of family members highlights the importance of family and community in God's plan. It encourages us to value and invest in our own familial and spiritual communities.

God's Remembrance
The name Zechariah reminds us that God remembers His people and His promises. This assurance can strengthen our faith in times of uncertainty.(31) Ahio.--The recurrence of this name here lends some support to the Authorised Version in 1Chronicles 8:14.

Zacher.--Heb., Zecher (comp. Shamer-Shemer), the Zechariah of 1Chronicles 9:37, which is in fact the full form of the name. Such abbreviations are common. (See 1Chronicles 5:26, Note.) After Zecher, the phrase and Mikloth has dropped out of the text, because 1Chronicles 8:32 begins with the same words. (See 1Chronicles 9:33.) . . .
