About Ziph
Ziph is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.16 as one of the sons of Jehallelel, a descendant of Judah. He is listed along with his brothers Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel. This genealogy is part of a larger record of the descendants of Judah, focusing on the clans and families that settled in various parts of the territory allocated to the tribe. The mention of Ziph and his brothers provides insight into the family structure and lineage of Jehallelel's descendants. However, no further details are given about Ziph's life or role within the clan.
