1 Chronicles 7:34The sons of Shemer: Ahi, and Rohgah, Jehubbah, and Aram.
The setting
Post-exilic Jerusalem, ~400 BC. Ezra's community painstakingly reconstructs tribal records to restore Israel's covenant identity in modern Israel/Palestine.
The emotion here: careful devotion to honor what nearly perished in exile
The original word
Shemer (שֶׁמֶר) — to keep, guard, preserve; this family name means 'guardian'
Why it matters
Without these records, returning families couldn't inherit ancestral land or serve in the temple
