Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy
Zichri was a son of Jeroham, a Benjamite, and a descendant of Shaharaim (1Ch.8.23).
- A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.23;
- only referred to as Zichri זִכְרִי;
- son of Shashak שָׁשַׁק;
- a brother of Ishpan יִשְׁפָּן, Eber עֵבֵר, Eliel אֱלִיאֵל, Abdon עַבְדוֹן, Hanan חָנָן, Hananiah חֲנַנְיָה, Elam עֵילָם, Anthothijah עַנְתֹתִיָּה, Iphdeiah יִפְדְּיָה and Penuel פְּנוּאֵל.
Zichri was another Benjamite mentioned in the genealogy of Shaharaim's descendants in 1 Chronicles 8. He was the son of Jeroham and is listed among the heads of families living in Jerusalem. This suggests that some Benjamites had settled in the capital city, possibly after the establishment of the monarchy under King David. The inclusion of Zichri in this genealogical record helps to trace the lineage and geographic distribution of the tribe of Benjamin.
