Bocheru Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Bocheru was a son of Azel and a descendant of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin (1Chr. 8:38; 9:44). He is mentioned in the genealogies of Benjamin, which trace the lineage of Saul and his descendants. The genealogies in 1Chronicles 8 and 9 provide a detailed record of the Benjamite families, highlighting their importance within the nation of Israel. Bocheru's inclusion in these lists demonstrates the significance of family lineage and the preservation of ancestral records, even for those who were not part of the royal line of David.
