Usage: Arnan is mentioned as a descendant of David in the genealogical records.

Context: Arnan appears in the genealogical lists of the descendants of David, specifically in the post-exilic period. He is listed in 1 Chronicles 3:21 as a member of the royal lineage, which traces the ancestry of the Judean kings. The name Arnan is part of the chronicler's effort to document the continuity of the Davidic line, emphasizing the fulfillment of God's promises to David regarding his descendants. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to connect the post-exilic community with their historical and theological heritage, reinforcing their identity as the people of God. Arnan's inclusion in this list highlights the importance of maintaining the record of David's lineage, which was significant for the restoration community's understanding of their covenant relationship with God.
