Naham, the brother of Hodiah whose son founded Keilah the Garmite city.
Naham was a man from the tribe of Judah, the brother of Hodiah whose son (or the son of Hodiah's wife) founded Keilah the Garmite city (1 Chronicles 4:19). The passage is textually difficult and the precise relationships are disputed among commentators. Naham appears only in this single genealogical reference and no further biographical detail is preserved.
