Footnotes
*Otniel* (Othniel) was the first judge of Yisra'el (Judg. 3:9–11), a deliverer raised up by YHWH when the nation had forgotten Him. Cheldai's connection to this lineage is a mark of distinguished heritage — tying the final slot in David's military calendar to the very first redeemer-figure of the era of judges. FOG preserves the Hebrew form to echo the judge narratives; FOG Message renders "the line of Othniel" to make the genealogical connection clear.
