This person shows up in 1 Chronicles 5:24: “These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real person in a real place.
1 Chronicles 5:24
“These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: even Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers’ houses.”
