Eshek
“violence, force” Hitchcock's 18691 mention, all in 1 Chronicles
Who he was
Eshek is named once, at the end of the line of King Saul through Jonathan: “The sons of Eshek his brother: Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third” (1 Chronicles 8:39). The words “his brother” refer to Azel, whose six sons are listed just before (1 Chronicles 8:38); Azel was the son of Eleasah (1 Chronicles 8:37). The sons of Eshek's firstborn Ulam “were mighty men of valor, archers, and had many sons, and grandsons, one hundred fifty” (1 Chronicles 8:40).
