This name appears in the genealogies of Benjamin, listed among the family heads who lived in various Benjaminite towns. It occurs in the context of detailed tribal records that were important for maintaining land inheritance and family identity, especially after the exile. The Septuagint's variant spellings show the usual challenges of rendering Hebrew names into Greek. Such genealogical lists, while sometimes seeming dry to modern readers, were vital documents establishing legal and social identity in ancient Israel.
