“Now the bronze altar that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the Lord.” 2 Chronicles 1:5a
I wonder if the reason the names of the father and grandfather of Bezalel are given is because they raised Bezalel and thus indirectly share in the credit for what he did.
Perhaps this is true in other cases where fathers are named. It is a testimony God wants to give of their wisdom in raising their children, or, in cases of disreputable children, it is an admonition.
Not true, of course, in all cases, as some sons of good parents may go bad.
