Context — Genealogy from Benjamin to Saul
8Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara.

In 1 Chronicles 8:10, we read about three sons of Shaharaim: Jeuz, Sachia, and Mirmah, who were leaders of their families. This verse reminds us that family is important to God, and that He desires for us to prioritize and nurture our relationships with one another, as seen in Psalm 127:1-5 and 1 Timothy 5:8. Just like Jeuz, Sachia, and Mirmah, we can strive to be good leaders and examples in our own families, by following God's guidance and wisdom, as encouraged in Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:1-4.
