Seled—a personal name in the genealogy of Judah, otherwise unknown
Seled is a personal name appearing in the genealogies of Judah in 1 Chronicles 2:30. The name is mentioned twice in the same verse, likely indicating he died without sons, as the genealogy notes he had no children. This is typical of Chronicles' genealogical method, which sometimes highlights childless individuals to explain breaks in family lines. Beyond this brief mention, nothing is known about Seled. The Septuagint transliterates the name with minor variations, preserving it without interpretation. He represents one of many individuals preserved in biblical genealogies whose lives left no other historical trace.

Senses

This double mention likely emphasizes the end of his line. The name exists solely in this genealogical context with no other biblical reference. The multilingual glosses maintain transliteration (Seled), treating it purely as a personal identifier in the Chronicles genealogy, one of the many names preserving family memory without additional narrative detail.
