Onam
Who he was
Onam was a descendant of Judah, the son of Jerahmeel (1Ch.2.26, 28). He is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah, which lists the descendants of Judah's sons. Onam was the son of Jerahmeel and had two sons of his own, Shammai and Jada (1 Chronicles 2:28). The genealogy of Judah in 1Chronicles 2 provides insight into the family lines and clans within the tribe of Judah. Onam's mention in this genealogy suggests that he was a significant figure within the Jerahmeelite clan.
