JahathEnglish

A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.2.

Ahumai is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of the tribe of Judah, specifically in the lineage of Reaiah, who was a descendant of Judah through his son Shobal. (1 Chronicles 4:1-2) The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 4 traces the descendants of Judah, focusing on various clans and families within the tribe. It provides a detailed record of the lineage of significant individuals and their offspring. Apart from being listed as a descendant of Reaiah, no further information is given about Ahumai's life, his role within the family, or any notable events associated with him. The mention of Ahumai in the genealogy serves to document the lineage of Judah and to demonstrate the continuity of the tribe through its various branches. It also highlights the importance of family records and ancestry in the Israelite society.
