Son of Jeroham, a Benjamite
Who is Zichri in the Bible?
Zichri was a son of Jeroham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin, appearing in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles 8:27. He was a descendant of Shaharaim and lived among the Benjamite families whose lineages were carefully documented in the Old Testament. The name Zichri appears multiple times within Benjamite genealogies, suggesting it was a significant or common name among this tribe during the biblical period. Beyond his mention in this genealogical listing, no specific details about his individual life, role, or accomplishments are provided in Scripture, making him one of many ancestral figures preserved in Israel's tribal records.
Biography
Zichri was a third Benjamite mentioned in the genealogy of Shaharaim's descendants in 1 Chronicles 8. Like his brother (or possibly cousin) mentioned in verse 23, he was also a son of Jeroham. The repetition of the name Zichri within the same family may suggest that it was a common or significant name among the Benjamites. The genealogical record in 1 Chronicles 8 provides a detailed account of the families and descendants of the tribe of Benjamin, highlighting their importance within the nation of Israel. However, no further information is given about this particular Zichri or his role within the Benjamite community.
