The name Benaiah among the sons of Bani signals that leadership families were not exempt from the reform; even those connected to priestly or levitical networks carried responsibility for covenant fidelity. The inclusion of this name in a public record of divorce served as both accountability and theological statement — that covenant boundaries applied universally within the restored community. This public naming embodied the Chronicler's conviction that genuine reform requires institutional transparency rather than private correction. The willingness to be named reflects the corporate seriousness with which the community approached the covenant violation.
