Ehud, personal name meaning 'union' or 'joined' (a Benjamite listed in Chronicles genealogies)
This name appears in the genealogical records of Benjamin in 1 Chronicles 8:6. The spelling differs from the famous judge Ehud (spelled differently in Hebrew), though the names may share etymological roots suggesting unity or joining together. The Chronicles genealogies identify this Ehud as equivalent to Ehi mentioned in Genesis 46:21, illustrating the textual variations common in ancient genealogical records.
