In recent chapters in Chronicles as well as in Ezra and Nehemiah there have been many lists of names. Though these are clearly Jewish names hallowed by age and appearance in the Tanach, they aren\u2019t names that are used these days to name children. I can understand that some might be a bit of a mouthful - Jaareshiah say - but others seem to me acceptable and even pleasant - Eder, Zichri. This made me think about why we use certain names and not others so I undertook some research.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Jewishly speaking, there is no clear halachic guidance about choice of name. All rules are <\/span>minhagim<\/em> <\/span>(customs). They therefore vary between communities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Many people will be familiar with the idea of naming after ancestors. Ashkenazim name after the deceased, Sephardim name after the living. So my son is named after a grandfather he never knew, while my Sephardi stepfather shared a name with his own father, his son and his grandson. It is good to name after someone directly involved in their existence, so in some communities this might include a <\/span>rebbe <\/span><\/i>who officiated at the parental wedding. It could also apply to an infertility specialist.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Names of people traditionally considered wicked are not used. A major exception is Ishmael, which has been used as a Jewish name since Talmudic times. This may be because the name was given by God to Ishmael\u2019s mother Hagar.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

There is a widespread idea that names of people who preceded Abraham should not be used. An exception is where the naming is actually in honor of a worthy person. So Noah after a grandparent is acceptable but after the biblical figure is not. I\u2019m not sure how this fits with Noah being the second most popular boys name in the United States for several years running.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A child should not be named after someone who died very young, unless it is to honor a martyr like a child who died in the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Names not of Jewish origin are widely used - Alexander, Golda, Aviva. (Some communities frown on this). This acceptability appears to extend even to names based on foreign gods. For example Esther may be a form of Ishtar Babylonian deity.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Two siblings should have different names. I apologize to George Foreman who has five sons named George.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A Jewish name can readily be changed. This could be done on recovery from a serious illness, or in some communities if more complex naming rules, like not marrying a woman with your mother\u2019s name, are broken.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

My advice to parents based on personal experience is to choose a name that is easy to pronounce (mine is Sara, rhymes with \"car-a\" not \"care-a\") and easy to spell (it doesn\u2019t have an H). I do enjoy having a Hebrew name that\u2019s the same as my English name, especially now I\u2019m living in Israel.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":55889,"alt":"","title":"jud13-name","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","width":1618,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-768x513.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":513,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-1024x684.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":684,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1025,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","2048x2048-width":1618,"2048x2048-height":1080,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-1200x801.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":801,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-629x420.jpg","home_baner-width":629,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"What\u2019s In A Name?","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Some observations on Jewish naming customs","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":55889,"alt":"","title":"jud13-name","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","width":1618,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-768x513.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":513,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-1024x684.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":684,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1025,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name.jpg","2048x2048-width":1618,"2048x2048-height":1080,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-1200x801.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":801,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud13-name-629x420.jpg","home_baner-width":629,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_link_for_pay":"0","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Writings","book":"I Chronicles","chapter":"11","chapter_main_number":"875","date":"20290104","wall_id":"875"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":false},{"order":3,"id":"99140","color":"#efefef","size":"1","name":"David, Joab And The Capture Of Jerusalem ","post_title":"David, Joab And The Capture Of Jerusalem","slug":"david-joab-and-the-capture-of-jerusalem","old_id":"99140","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":33877,"post_title":"Marc Bregman","slug":"marc-bregman","old_id":"33877","first_name":"Marc","last_name":"Bregman","description":"Marc Bregman received his Ph.D. from The Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1991.

Our chapter begins with the anointing and coronation of King David. It goes on to tell of how he and his men immediately set out to capture the city of Jebus, which they renamed Jerusalem, King David\u2019s new capital. Here the conquest of Jerusalem is related in four verses: \u201cDavid and all Israel set out for Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusite inhabitants of the land lived. David was told by the inhabitants of Jebus, \u2018You will never get in here!\u2019 But David captured the stronghold of Zion; it is now the City of David. David said, \u2018Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will be the chief officer.\u2019 Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first and became the chief. David occupied the stronghold. Therefore, it was renamed the City of David\u201d (compare<\/span> II Samuel 5:6-7<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Midrash Pirkei de-Rabbi Eliezer<\/span><\/a> preserves an extensive tradition about the capture of Jebus. The men of that non-Israelite city made images of copper, and set them up in the street of the city, and wrote upon them the covenant of the oath that their forefathers had made with Abraham (based on<\/span> Genesis 21:22-24<\/span><\/a>, see<\/span> Rashi to II Samuel 5:6<\/span><\/a>). This prevented the Israelites from entering the city of Jebus (see<\/span> Judges 1:21<\/span><\/a>). The Jebusites said to David, You will never be able to enter our city until you remove the images on which is written Abraham\u2019s covenant with us. So, David said to his men: Whoever will go up first and remove those images shall be the chief. Then, Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up, and he became the chief, as David<\/span> said<\/span><\/a>: \u201cWhoever attacks the Jebusites first will be the chief officer. Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first and became the chief\u201d. Afterwards King David bought the city of the Jebusites for Israel by a purchase with gold and with a perpetual deed for a permanent possession. David took from each of the twelve tribes fifty shekels, which amounted to six hundred shekels, as it is<\/span> said<\/span><\/a>: \u201cSo David paid Ornan for the site 600 shekels\u2019 worth of gold\u201d.\u00a0 See further<\/span> Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews, David Wars<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ginzberg continues to relate the<\/span> legend of Joab<\/span><\/a> on the basis of late midrashic sources. When besieging the Amalekite capital, Joab had himself hurled into the city by means of a catapult, taking with him only 1000 pieces of silver and his sword. After 40 days during which he bartered and battled by himself with the Amalekite defenders, Joab ascended a high tower from which he called out to the Israelite troops who then successfully conquered the city. These late legends praise Joab as an exemplary Jewish hero, not only for his swashbuckling military gallantry, but also for his learning, piety, and generosity. He is said to have been particularly concerned with the welfare of Torah scholars and is even portrayed as having served as the president of the Sanhedrin!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In chapter 10, we saw an example of additional information not found in I Samuel in the reasons why Saul was killed and the kingship taken from him. In chapter 11, it is the opposite. Chapter 11 jumps right to II Samuel 1 where all of Israel comes to David to proclaim him the king. Juxtaposed with the ending of chapter 10, the verses are quite striking:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSaul died for the trespass that he had committed against the L<\/span>ORD<\/span> in not having fulfilled the command of the L<\/span>ORD<\/span>; moreover, he had consulted a ghost to seek advice, and did not seek advice of the L<\/span>ORD<\/span>; so He had him slain and the kingdom transferred to David son of Jesse\u201d \/\/ \u201cIsrael gathered to David at Hebron and said, \u2018We are your own flesh and blood. Long before now, even when Saul was king, you were the leader of Israel; and the Lord your God said to you: You shall shepherd My people Israel; you shall be ruler of My people Israel\u2019\u201d(10:13-14-11:1-2).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

If your goal is to elevate the house of David, then this sequence does that. What it does not do is include the full story. The entire narrative of what happens between \/Saul\u2019s death and David\u2019s coronation in II Samuel 1-5 is missing. This includes David\u2019s Lament for Saul, the attempt to maintain the line of Saul by his supporters, the intrigue of Joab and Abner. All of it is missing. Removing all of this sets up a much cleaner narrative and transition from Saul to David.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In this chapter, we have a replay of the scene that describes David\u2019s promotion from a regional (Judean) potentate to the recognized monarch: \u201c<\/span>All Israel<\/em> <\/span>gathered to David at Hebron and said, \u2018We are your own flesh and blood\u2019\u201d (1). In its original site, however, it appears with a slight, though significant, variation: \u201cAll the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, \u201cWe are your own flesh and blood\u201d (2 Samuel 5:1).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

One more comparison should clarify the significance. In 2 Samuel, we read: \u201cThe king and his men set out for Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the region\u201d (5:6), and here: \u201cDavid and <\/span>all Israel<\/em> <\/span>set out for Jerusalem, that is Jebus, where the Jebusite inhabitants of the land live\u201d (4).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The contrast, which we have highlighted, is that Chronicles interpolates \u201call Israel \u201d into the texts. By replacing \u201call the tribes\u201d with \u201call Israel,\u201d and substituting \u201cDavid and all Israel\u201d for \u201cthe king and his men,\u201d Chronicles stresses the consolidation of disparate tribal elements into a national whole\u2014a theme that resounds throughout the book\u2014as in the following additional examples:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n

1 Chronicles 14:8<\/span><\/p>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n

1 Chronicles 15:3<\/span><\/p>\r\n

David assembled <\/span>all Israel<\/em> <\/span>in Jerusalem to bring up the Ark of the L<\/span>ORD<\/span> to its place, which he had prepared for it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n

\r\n

2 Samuel 6:12<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Thereupon David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David, amid rejoicing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n

\u00a0<\/span>A humorous musical postscript: In the continuation of our chapter (17 ff.), we come upon the reiteration of an episode\u2014narrated first in 2 Samuel 23:16 ff.\u2014in which David\u2019s desire for a taste of water from a well in his hometown of Bethlehem is fulfilled by three of his stalwarts. This inspired a satiric song and dance routine by Israel\u2019s famous trio <\/span>Gashash Hachiver<\/span><\/em>, which can <\/span>be viewed here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

11:10 \u201cAnd these were the chiefs of the warriors who were David\u2019s, joining forces with him in his kingdom with all Israel to make him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This list, with some brief narrative fragments embedded in it, duplicates 2 Samuel 23:8-39...It appears to be a very old document, registering memories of the military exploits of David\u2019s warriors that have anecdotal specificity (the gigantic Egyptian with his huge spear, the fighting on the day of the snow--a rare event in this climate). In this instance, there are quite a few differences from the text in Samuel, and many of the names of the warriors are different. These differences do not appear to reflect any ideological purpose, and they are probably a result of the Chronicler\u2019s using a different manuscript version of the archaic material.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

  1. Comp lit<\/em>. The stories of David\u2019s coronation and of the conquest of Jerusalem can be found in 2 Sam 5. However, the story of the painful transition period with its struggle between the supporters of Ish-bosheth and those of David, which is told in 2 Sam 2-4 is not retold here in Chronicles. The list of David\u2019s warriors does also appear in 2 Sam 21 and 23. It\u2019s worth comparing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. A prophecy that was fulfilled<\/em>. Verse 3 emphasizes that the coronation of David was \u201caccording to the word of the LORD through Samuel.\u201d There\u2019s a prophetic accompaniment in the rest of the book as well - stay with us.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. A medal for Joab<\/em>. We know Joab, son of Zeruiah, David\u2019s military commander, from the book of Samuel, there he is often mentioned critically (for instance 2 Sam 3). Chronicles actually finds him more praiseworthy. As in verse 6: \u201cDavid said, \u201cWhoever attacks the Jebusites first will be the chief officer\u201d; Joab son of Zeruiah attacked first, and became the chief,\u201d and 8: \u201cDavid also fortified the surrounding area, from the Millo round about, and Joab rebuilt the rest of the city.\u201d He was responsible, with David, for rebuilding Jerusalem and establishing it as the capital.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Earlier and later<\/em>. The Chronicler juxtaposed the conquest of Jerusalem with the coronation of David, and moved up the lists of heroes that appear as a sort of addendum to the book of Samuel. What does this new order mean?
