Jekuthiel is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. His name appears in1 Chronicles 4:18, where he is identified as one of the sons of Mered. The passage reads: "And his wife Jehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah."

Genealogical Context

Jekuthiel is part of the extensive genealogies that are recorded in the Book of Chronicles, which serve to establish the lineage and heritage of the tribes of Israel. These genealogies are significant for understanding the historical and familial connections among the Israelites, particularly the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended.

Family Lineage

Jekuthiel's father, Mered, is noted for having two wives, one of whom is identified as Jehudijah. The genealogical record in1 Chronicles 4:17-18 provides insight into the family structure and the descendants of Mered. Jekuthiel's brothers, Jered and Heber, are also mentioned, indicating a family of some prominence within the tribe of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Significance

The mention of Jekuthiel and his brothers in the genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative. The chronicler's inclusion of these names highlights the continuity of God's covenant with Israel through the generations. Each name in the genealogy serves as a testament to the faithfulness of God in preserving His people and fulfilling His promises.

Theological Implications

From a theological perspective, the genealogies in Chronicles, including the mention of Jekuthiel, emphasize the providence and sovereignty of God in history. They remind readers of the divine orchestration of events and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through specific individuals and families. The genealogies also serve as a reminder of the importance of heritage and the transmission of faith from one generation to the next.

Jekuthiel's Legacy

While Jekuthiel himself is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives beyond the genealogical record, his inclusion in the lineage of Judah contributes to the broader tapestry of Israel's history. His mention in Scripture, though brief, is part of the larger account of God's chosen people and their journey through history as recorded in the Bible.Jekuthiel
