1 Chronicles 4:6

And Naarah bare him Ahuzam, and Hepher, and Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah.

1 Chronicles 4:6 (KJV)

Context

This verse belongs to a genealogical list for the tribe of Judah. The previous line names Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, and his two wives, Helah and Naarah. The following line lists the sons of Helah. Together these lines show how 1 Chronicles 4:6 fits into the ordered family record.

Meaning

The verse records that Naarah bore four sons: Ahuzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. It then repeats that these were her sons. The wording gives names and relationships only. It does not assign motives, virtues, or failures to these people, so a careful reader should not add character claims the text does not make.

These names appear nowhere else in Scripture. Their only place is this list. That fact reminds us that the Chronicler valued precision in preserving every branch of Judah’s family line. The verse also shows that God knows and records each person, even those about whom no other details are given.

Biblical connections

Genealogies in Chronicles establish continuity between generations and locate individuals within covenant history. This record traces the tribe of Judah, from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ would come. The naming of Naarah as a wife and mother also highlights the important role of women in Israel’s lineage. Her inclusion shows that women were not forgotten in the faithful transmission of Israel’s history.

Application

This verse encourages careful attention to details that are easy to pass over. A responsible reader receives the names and relationships as written, without inventing a biography beyond the record. It also shows that God values every person and family, even those about whom no other details are given. This truth can comfort those who feel unnoticed, reminding them that they are known and recorded by God.

Reflection

Read in this setting, 1 Chronicles 4:6 speaks through its own wording and context. Its claims, emphasis, and appropriate application all begin with the KJV text printed above.
