1st Chronicles 9:35 KJV
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of
Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name
[was] Maachah.
There are 9 Hebrew words in this verse:
(1) H1391 - Gibown = Gibeon "hill city", pertaining to
a hill, (i.e., built on a hill); a Levitical city of Benjamin
(2) H3427 - Yashab = dwelt, remain, sit, abide, inhabited
(3) H1 - 'Ab = father, founder, progenitor, ruler/chief
(4) H1391 - Gibown = Gibeon "hill city"
(5) H25 - 'Abiy Gib'own = [a compound proper name used
in order to show etymology]: Father of Gibeon
(6) H3273 - Yh-iy'el (or) Yeheal = Jehiel, or Jeiel meaning:
'God sweeps away'; a Levite and a gatekeeper to the
tabernacle; an ancestor to king Saul
(7) H802 - 'Ishshah = woman, wife, married female
(8) H8034 - Shem = name(-d), fame, reputation, renown
(9) H4601 - Ma'akah = Maachah = oppression; various
translation of this name as: Maachah, Maacah, Maachathites
which means: 'pressure (literally, she has pressed)'
Jehi'el was a Levite and a gatekeeper to the tabernacle
and an ancestor to King Saul.
Next, we are provided with the list of sons who were born
to Jehi'el in verses 36 and 37:
[v36] And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish,
and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab, [v37] And Gedor, and
Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
Jehi'el = God Sweeps Away
begat
a) Abdon = servile
b) then Zur = rock
c) and Kish = bent (H7027) (or) Cis = 'a snare' (G2797)
d) and Baal = lord
e) and Ner = lamp candle
f) and Nadab = generous, spontaneous, liberal
g) and Gedor = wall, hedge
h) and Ahio = brotherly, fraternal
i) and Zecharia/Zacher = Jehovah-remembers, remembrance
j) and Mikloth = staves, lots; where staves are set apart in
equal units/lots; alone, separate, by itself, being alone, besides
(see H905 - staves)
When we transliterate these three verses together we get:
God sweeps away servile rocks as bent snares lording
[over] lamp candles spontaneously [forming] a hedge
wall [of] fraternal brotherhood [neighborhoods] to set
apart the remembrances of Jehovah.
Will our neighborhoods be swept away as they forget the
LORD in their lives? Or, shall they turn and be made whole
according to His kind rememberances?
