1 Chronicles 9:4
Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah. Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
Uthai is traced through Ammihud, Omri, Imri, and Bani as a descendant of Pharez, also called Perez, the son of Judah. The listing stands in 1 Chronicles 9:1-32, which sets forth the order of dwellers and temple service at Jerusalem after the return from Babylon. That order mentions the Sabbath and was originally ordained by David and Samuel, so its Sabbath appointment reaches back to the events of David's life. It belongs to the genealogical records that established hereditary descent for the returned exiles, including claims connected with land and temple service.
It is part of the carefully preserved genealogy of Judah, showing that names and family lines were carefully kept. It belongs to Judah, the tribe through which Christ came. The genealogies of Judah were among those kept unbroken until Christ's first advent because Jesus came from Judah and the family of David.
