Ohel appears in 1 Chronicles 3:20 as one of Zerubbabel's sons, part of the Davidic genealogy in the post-exilic period. The name means 'tent' in Hebrew, a common word repurposed as a personal name. His inclusion in this genealogy underscores the survival and continuation of David's line after the Babylonian exile, even though the monarchy itself had ended. These genealogical records preserved messianic hope by tracking royal descent.
