Description
Sucathite in the text
The Sucathites are mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.55 as one of the Kenite clans who were descendants of Salma, the father (ie founder) of Bethlehem. The passage states, "The clans of scribes who lived at Jabez were the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and the Sucathites. These were the Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab."
This verse suggests that the Sucathites, along with the Tirathites and Shimeathites, were Kenite clans known for their scribal skills. Scribes in ancient Israel were responsible for writing, copying, and interpreting documents, including religious texts and legal contracts. The mention of these clans living in Jabez, a town associated with the Kenites, indicates that they may have been recognized for their expertise in this profession.
The Kenites were a nomadic tribe closely associated with the Israelites, known for their metalworking and scribal abilities. Some notable Kenites in the Bible include Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, and Heber, whose wife Jael killed the Canaanite general Sisera.
Apart from this brief mention in 1 Chronicles, no further information is provided about the Sucathites in the Bible. Their inclusion in this genealogical record highlights the diverse skills and professions within the Israelite community and the importance of scribal work in preserving and transmitting religious and cultural traditions.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
