Gedor
The name "Gedor" is rooted in the Hebrew word "גְּדוֹר" (Gedor), which means "wall" or "enclosure." This name may signify a place of protection or strength, reflecting the fortified nature of ancient cities. In the context of 1 Chronicles, Gedor is listed among the descendants of Benjamin, indicating a lineage that is part of the broader narrative of Israel's tribes. Historically, Gedor is also a location mentioned in the Bible, possibly associated with a town in the hill country of Judah. This dual reference to both a person and a place underscores the interconnectedness of identity and geography in biblical times, where names often carried significant meaning and heritage.

Ahio
The name "Ahio" comes from the Hebrew "אֲחִיּוֹ" (Achyo), meaning "his brother" or "brotherly." This name suggests a familial bond or relationship, emphasizing the importance of kinship in the tribal structure of Israel. Ahio is mentioned in several genealogies, highlighting the continuity and preservation of family lines. In a broader scriptural context, the emphasis on brotherhood and family ties reflects the communal nature of ancient Israelite society, where individuals were often identified by their familial connections. This serves as a reminder of the biblical principle of unity and support within the family of God.

Zechariah
"Zechariah" is derived from the Hebrew "זְכַרְיָה" (Zekharyah), meaning "Yahweh remembers" or "the LORD has remembered." This name is rich with theological significance, as it reflects the covenantal faithfulness of God to His people. Throughout the Bible, individuals named Zechariah play significant roles, often as prophets or leaders, reminding Israel of God's promises and His active presence in their history. The inclusion of Zechariah in this genealogy serves as a testament to the enduring hope and assurance that God remains mindful of His covenant with His people. It is a powerful reminder of the divine remembrance and the fulfillment of God's promises throughout the biblical narrative.

(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.) . . .
