Jehaleleel

Jehaleleel — written Jehallelel in the UPDV — is a Judahite known only as the father of four sons listed in the broader Judah genealogy of 1 Chronicles 4. The same UPDV spelling also belongs to a Levite of Merari's line in 2 Chronicles 29:12, but this entry covers the Judahite alone. He has no narrative; his place in the text is purely genealogical.

A house in Judah

In the long sequence of Judah's descendants, the Chronicler reaches a brief notice: "And the sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel" (1Ch 4:16). Four sons are named, with no further annotation. The first two — Ziph and Ziphah — share the name of a Judahite town in the wilderness near Hebron, suggesting a family tied to that southern district, though the text itself does not press the connection. The verse stands as the whole record of him.
