Names, names, and Nimrod

"You're such a nimrod."

In the book of 1 Chronicles, the first few chapters gives an account of the historical family records.  The majority of the records lists this father or mother had these sons or daughters, and so on.

In verse 10 of chapter 1, it reads: "Cush was the father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on earth."  Nimrod appeared in Genesis.  However, one wonders why such a name became an insult.  Hence the quoted passage at the top of this post.  Oh, by the way, there is a small town in northern Minnesota named Nimrod.  Go figure.

Some even had their evil deeds put down in detail.  In chapter 2, verse 7, it reads: "Achar, who brought trouble on Israel for violating the ban on taking devoted things."
