1 Chronicles 1:21and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
The setting
Jerusalem, ~400 BC. The Chronicler continues listing names that most readers would skip over, but to him, each represents God's faithfulness across centuries...
The emotion here: reverent determination that no faithful life should be forgotten
The original word
šēm (שֵׁם) — name, but meaning reputation, memory, the essence of who someone is
Why it matters
These three names represent Arabian tribal groups; Uzal may be connected to Sana'a, capital of modern Yemen
