This text stands within the genealogical records of Chronicles. It names four individuals, Gedor and Ahio and Zechariah and Mikloth. After the exile these genealogical records functioned as legal proof of hereditary descent, establishing claims to hereditary land ownership and to the hereditary duties of temple service. Such long lists of names display God's care in keeping a faithful record of each person.
