About Zoheth

Zoheth is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.20 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as one of the sons of Ishi, along with his brother Ben-zoheth. The genealogy in this chapter traces the lineage of several clans within the tribe of Judah, focusing on the descendants of Shelah, one of Judah's sons. The mention of Zoheth and his brother in this context suggests that they were significant figures within their clan. However, no further details are provided about Zoheth's life, role, or achievements.
