About Zichri

Zichri was a third Benjamite mentioned in the genealogy of Shaharaim's descendants in 1Chronicles 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 1Chronicles 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.
