Context — The Genealogy of Judahgenerated
1 Chronicles 8:36 presents a genealogy that traces the lineage from Ahaz, a king of Judah, through his son Jehoaddah, to his descendants Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri, culminating in Moza. This record serves to establish the heritage and connections among the tribes of Israel, particularly focusing on the tribe of Benjamin, as seen in other genealogical references in 1 Chronicles 9:42.

The Key Word — אָחָז, ve.'a.Chazgenerated
The name אָחָז (Achaz) means 'he has grasped' and refers to a king of Judah, noted for his reign during a tumultuous period in Israel's history. His lineage is significant as it leads to key figures in the biblical narrative, including his son Hezekiah.
The parsing indicates that Ahaz is a proper masculine noun, which reinforces his identity as a historical figure within the context of the Israelite monarchy.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb הוֹלִ֣יד (ho.Lid), meaning 'he fathered', governs the entire verse. It connects the subjects Ahaz, Jehoaddah, and Zimri with their respective offspring.
The structure emphasizes the lineage through a series of noun phrases, each linked by the verb, illustrating a clear familial connection from Ahaz to Moza.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הוֹלִ֣יד as ἐγέννησεν (egennēsen), which also means 'he fathered'. This choice maintains the genealogical emphasis of the original Hebrew, showing continuity in the lineage.
The Greek translation reflects the same focus on lineage, ensuring that the connection between these figures is preserved in the Septuagint.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Chronicles 8:36 tells us that Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah, who was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri. Zimri was then the father of Moza. This verse outlines a genealogy that connects significant figures in Israel's history.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah, who in turn was the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri, with Zimri being the father of Moza. The Septuagint, however, does not provide a complete translation for this verse, and thus does not offer a direct comparison to the Masoretic Text. Therefore, we cannot determine if the Septuagint agrees or differs in content, as it lacks sufficient text for analysis. The other ancient witnesses, such as the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls, are not mentioned here, so their agreement or disagreement with the Masoretic Text remains unknown for this specific verse.

The Hebrew word אָחָז (Achaz) means 'he has grasped' and refers to two notable figures: a king of Judah, son of Jotham and father of Hezekiah, and a Benjamite, son of Micah. The entries consistently identify Achaz as a significant historical figure during the Divided Monarchy, first mentioned in 2 Kings 15:38.

1. Name:
The name is the same as Jehoahaz; hence appears on Tiglath-pileser's Assyrian inscription of 732 BC as Ia-u-ha-zi. The sacred historians may have dropped the first part of the name in consequence of the character of the king.
2. The Accession:
Ahaz was the son of Jotham, king of Judah. He succeeded to the throne at the age of 20 years (according to another reading 25). The chronology of his reign is difficult, as his son Hezekiah is stated to have been 25 years of age when he began to reign 16 years after (2Ki 18:2). If the accession of Ahaz be placed as early as 743 BC, his grandfather Uzziah, long unable to perform the functions of his office on account of his leprosy (

Possessor. (1.) A grandson of Jonathan (1 Chr. 8:35; 9:42).

Notwithstanding the remonstrances and warnings of Isaiah, Hosea, and Micah, he appealed for help against Rezin, king of Damascus, and Pekah, king of Israel, who threatened Jerusalem, to Tiglath-pileser, the king of Assyria, to the great injury of his kingdom and his own humilating subjection to the Assyrians (2 Kings 16:7, 9; 15:29). He also introduced among his people many heathen and idolatrous customs (Isa. 8:19; 38:8; 2 Kings 23:12). He died at the age of thirty-five…
(possessor), eleventh king of Judah, son of Jotham, reigned 741-726, about sixteen years. At the time of his accession, Rezin king of Damascus and Pekah king of Israel had recently formed a league against Judah, and they proceeded to lay siege to Jerusalem. Upon this Isaiah hastened to give advice and encouragement to Ahaz, and the allies failed in their attack on Jerusalem. Isai 7,8,9. But, the allies inflicted a most severe injury on Judah by the capture of Elath, a flourishing port on the Red Sea, while the Philistines invaded the west and south. 2Kin 16; 2Chr 28. Ahaz, having forfeited God’s favor by his wickedness, sought deliverance from these numerous troubles by appealing to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, who forced him from his most formidable enemies. But Ahaz had to purchase this help at a costly price; he became tributary to Tiglath-pileser. He was weak, a gross idolater…
Son of Jotham, and twelfth king of Judah. He ascended the throne at twenty years of age, and reigned sixteen years, 2Ki 16:1,2,20. B. C. 738. He was distinguished for his idolatry and contempt of the true God; and against him many of the prophecies of Isaiah are directed, Isa 7.1-25. He made his own children pass through the fire to idols; he introduced the Syrian gods into Jerusalem, altered the temple after the Syrian model, and even closed it altogether. Having thus forfeited the aid of Jehovah, he met various repulses in battle with Pekah and Rezin; the Edomites revolted, and the Philistines harassed his borders. He turned yet more away from God in his distress, and sought aid from Pul, king of Assyria. This fatal step made him tributary to Pul, and to Tig-lath-pileser his successor. Ahaz was reduced to great extremities, in…
