Asiel, a personal name in the tribe of Simeon (1 Chronicles 4:35)
Asiel is named in 1 Chronicles 4:35 within the genealogy of Simeon. He is listed among the ancestors of Simeonite families, though no narrative accompanies his name. The Greek has Asiēl, a straightforward transliteration. Simeon's territory was eventually absorbed into Judah, and many Simeonites are known only through genealogical records like this. The Chronicler's preservation of names such as Asiel reflects the importance of tribal identity and inheritance, even for tribes that lost political independence. Each name represents a family line with rights, memories, and a place in the covenant community.

Senses
1. sense 1 Asiel appears in 1 Chronicles 4:35 as a Simeonite, part of the genealogical framework tracing the tribe's clans. No story is told about him; his name simply marks a link in the ancestral chain. Greek manuscripts transliterate as Asiēl. Simeon, the smallest tribe, was eventually integrated into Judah, and many of its members are preserved only in these lists. By including Asiel, the Chronicler affirms that every family, however obscure, has standing before God. Genealogy is not mere record-keeping—it is theology, asserting that each person's lineage matters in the story of redemption.
