Pithon Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Pithon is mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin in 1Ch 8:35 and 1Ch 9:41. He is listed as one of the sons of Micah, who was a descendant of King Saul through his son Jonathan. The genealogy in 1Chronicles 8 focuses on the descendants of Saul, the first king of Israel, who was from the tribe of Benjamin. The repetition of this genealogy in 1Chronicles 9 emphasizes the importance of Saul's lineage and the prominence of the Benjamites in Israel's history. However, no additional details are provided about Pithon's life, his role within the family, or any significant events associated with him.
