Azrikam עַזְרִיקָם
A descendant of Saul and Jonathan.
Who is Azrikam in the Bible?
Azrikam was a descendant of King Saul and his son Jonathan, belonging to the tribe of Benjamin. According to the genealogical records in 1 Chronicles 8:38 and 9:44, Azrikam was one of the six sons of Azel, who himself descended from Jonathan. His lineage extended back through several generations to Saul, Israel's first king, placing him among the royal family of the northern kingdom. While Azrikam himself played no significant narrative role in Scripture, his inclusion in these genealogies demonstrates the chronicler's concern with preserving the family line of Israel's first king and illustrates the tribal and familial connections within Benjamin.
