Hachmoni was the father of Jehiel who, with Jonathan attended King David's sons.
Hachmoni was the ancestor of Jehiel the Hachmonite, who served as an attendant to David's sons and a companion of the king's son, recorded in 1 Chronicles 27:32. The designation 'Hachmonite' likely indicates family origin. In the parallel tradition of the mighty men lists, 'Tahchemonite' or 'Hachmonite' appears as the designation of Josheb-basshebeth, the chief of David's three greatest warriors (2 Samuel 23:8), suggesting Hachmoni may have been a celebrated ancestral figure in David's military circles.
