Miqlot — personal name, a Benjamite clan leader and one of David's officers
Miqlot is a personal name appearing in Chronicles' genealogical and administrative records. The name occurs in two distinct contexts: first, as a Benjamite family head in the genealogy of Saul's clan (1 Chr 8-9), and second, as an officer in David's military organization. The Septuagint renders the name with various Greek spellings (Makalōth, Makellōth), though the LXX omits the reference in 1 Chronicles 27:4. The meaning of the name likely derives from a root related to 'rods' or 'staffs,' though its exact significance is uncertain.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Benjamite personal name borne by at least two individuals: (1) A descendant in the genealogy of King Saul, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:32, 9:37-38 as part of the families living in Jerusalem. The genealogical parallel suggests he may also be referenced at the end of 8:31, though the text is uncertain there. (2) An officer who served under David according to 1 Chronicles 27:4, though this reference is absent from some Greek manuscripts. The repeated occurrences in genealogical lists indicate Miqlot was a recognized family name in post-exilic Benjamite lineages. 4×
