Ahban

Descendant of Judah in the Jerahmeel line

Tuomarien aikaMember of the Jerahmeel line in the tribe of JudahUnknown

Ahban is known exclusively from the genealogy in 1 Chronicles, where he is listed as a son of Abishur and Abihail in the Jerahmeelite branch of the tribe of Judah. This lineage traces back through Jerahmeel, Hezron, and Perez to Judah himself. Along with his brother Molid, Ahban makes up the descendants of Abishur. No actions or stories are attached to him, but his presence in the genealogy reflects the thorough preservation of Judah's tribal history. The genealogies in Chronicles served, among other things, to document belonging and inheritance rights, especially in the period after the Babylonian exile.
