Shashak, a Benjamite name appearing in genealogical lists in 1 Chronicles
Shashak appears in the Benjamite genealogies of 1 Chronicles 8 as the name of one individual mentioned in verses 14 and 25. The name occurs in a genealogical context listing descendants and family heads within Benjamin's tribe. The Septuagint shows variant transliterations (Sokiel, Soiek, Sosek, Sisach), typical of the manuscript instability affecting proper names. One interpretation connects the name to a root meaning 'longed for,' though this is speculative. The individual's specific role or significance beyond genealogical placement is not stated.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name borne by a Benjamite in the tribal genealogies preserved in Chronicles. The two occurrences in 1 Chronicles 8:14, 25 likely refer to the same person mentioned in different genealogical contexts within the chapter's complex family structure. Spanish 'Sasac' and the various other transliterations attempt to represent the Hebrew consonants in different linguistic systems. The name's etymology remains uncertain despite ancient speculation, and the bearer's historical significance is limited to his place in Benjamin's family records. 2×
