Jeuz

Jeuz is a Benjamite, named once in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles as a son of Shaharaim by his wife Hodesh and a head of an ancestral house.

A Son of Shaharaim and Hodesh

The single appearance places Jeuz inside a Benjamite family tree built in the territory of Moab, where Shaharaim begets children after sending away earlier wives. Hodesh bears him seven sons in succession — Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirmah — and the line is summarized: "and Jeuz, and Shachia, and Mirmah. These were his sons, heads of fathers' [houses]" (1 Chr 8:10).

The bracketed [houses] follows UPDV convention for a clarifying insertion — the Hebrew construction "heads of fathers'" is filled out to "heads of fathers' [houses]," the standard Chronicles formula for a recognized clan-head. Jeuz therefore sits not as a private individual in the record but as the founder of a household reckoned within Benjamin.
