Aharhel

Aharhel was a son of Harum and a descendant of Judah, listed in the genealogical notices of 1 Chronicles 4:8. He is mentioned as part of the expanded record of Judah's descendants that Chronicles preserves beyond what appears in the earlier historical books. The name Aharhel is unique in the Old Testament and its meaning is uncertain, possibly related to a word for 'brother of Rachel' or referring to a geographic or clan designation. Beyond this single genealogical reference, nothing further is known about Aharhel's life or significance.
