Chronicles Chapter Two
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 2
This
chapter begins with the twelve sons of Israel or Jacob
1 Chronicles 2:1
then reckons the sons of Judah
the fourth son of Jacob
1 Chronicles 2:3
then the posterity of Pharez and Zerah
sons of Judah
1 Chronicles 2:5
next the sons of Hezron
a son of Pharez
1 Chronicles 2:9
particularly the posterity of Ram
a son of Hezron
from whom sprung Jesse and
his family
1 Chronicles 2:10
then of Caleb: another son of Hezron
1 Chronicles 2:18
and next of Jerahmeel
the firstborn of Hezron
1 Chronicles 1:25
and particularly the posterity of Sheshan
a descendant of his
1 Chronicles 1:34
and then other sons of Caleb
with their posterity
are reckoned
1 Chronicles 1:42
and the chapter is closed with the families of the Scribes in Jabesh
the same
with the Kenites
1 Chronicles 2:55.
1 Chronicles
2:1 These were
the sons of Israel: Reuben
Simeon
Levi
Judah
Issachar
Zebulun
YLT
1These [are] sons of Israel:
Reuben
Simeon
Levi
and Judah
Issachar
and Zebulun
Verse 1-2
These are the sons of Israel
.... Or Jacob
the other
son of Isaac
who had the name of Israel given him
because of his power with
God
Genesis 32:28
whose twelve sons are here mentioned by name; the first four according to their
birth of Leah
Reuben
Simeon
Levi
and Judah; then the two sons of Zilpah
Leah's handmaid
Issachar and Zebulun; and between Dan and Naphtali
the sons
of Bilhah
Rachel's handmaid
are placed Joseph and Benjamin
the sons of
Rachel.
1 Chronicles
2:2 2 Dan
Joseph
Benjamin
Naphtali
Gad
and Asher.
YLT
2Dan
Joseph
and Benjamin
Naphtali
Gad
and Asher.
1 Chronicles 2:3 3 The sons of Judah were
Er
Onan
and Shelah. These three were born to him by the daughter of
Shua
the Canaanitess. Er
the firstborn of Judah
was wicked in the sight of
the Lord;
so He killed him.
YLT
3Sons of Judah: Er
and
Onan
and Shelah
three have been born to him of a daughter of Shua the
Canaanitess. And Er
first-born of Judah
is evil in the eyes of Jehovah
and
He putteth him to death.
The sons of Judah
.... The genealogy begins with him
though
the fourth son of Jacob; because
as Kimchi says
this book treats chiefly of
the kings of Judah; but rather not only because Jesse and David sprang from
him
but also the King Messiah:
Er
and Onan
and Shelah
which three were born unto him of the
daughter of Shua the Canaanitess; see Genesis 38:2
and Er
the firstborn of Judah
was evil in the sight of the Lord; because he
did that which was evil:
and he slew him; he died by the immediate hand of God
and
so his brother Onan
being wicked also
Genesis 38:7.
1 Chronicles 2:4 4 And Tamar
his
daughter-in-law
bore him Perez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were
five.
YLT
4And Tamar his
daughter-in-law hath borne to him Pharez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah [are]
five.
And Tamar his daughter in law bare him Pharez and Zerah
.... Through
incest; they were twins
Genesis 38:27 all
the sons of Judah were five; who are before mentioned by name.
1 Chronicles 2:5 5 The sons of Perez were
Hezron and Hamul.
YLT
5Sons of Pharez: Hezron
and
Hamul.
The sons of Pharez
.... One of the above twins
born to Judah:
Hezron and Hamul; see Genesis 46:12.
1 Chronicles 2:6 6 The sons of Zerah were
Zimri
Ethan
Heman
Calcol
and Dara—five of them in all.
YLT
6And sons of Zerah: Zimri
and Ethan
and Heman
and Calcol
and Dara; all of them five.
And the sons of Zerah
.... The other twin of
Judah:
Zimri
and Ethan
and Heman
and Calcol
and Dara: five of them
in all; the Targum calls them governors
and adds
on whom the spirit of
prophecy dwelt; and in the Jewish chronologyF14Seder Olam Rabba
c.
20. p. 52. they are said to prophesy in Egypt; and the four last are supposed
to be the same with those in 1 Kings 4:31. See
Gill on 1 Kings 4:31.
1 Chronicles 2:7 7 The son of Carmi was
Achar
[a] the
troubler of Israel
who transgressed in the accursed thing.
YLT
7And sons of Carmi: Achar
troubler of Israel
who trespassed in the devoted thing.
And the sons of Carmi
.... The Targum adds
this is Zimri; but in Joshua 7:1 Carmi is
said to be the son of Zabdi
who seems to be the same with Zimri; and some
supply the word here
and readF15So Junius & Tremellius
&
Piscator. the sons of Zimri
Carmi
Achar
who was the grandson of Zimri; his
proper name was Achan
Joshua 7:1
but
called Achar here by way of reproach
as Jarchi and others observe; being
as
it follows:
the troubler of Israel
as Achar signifies:
"who transgressed in the thing accursed"; devoted to the Lord
by
taking it away for his own use
see Joshua 6:17
hence
the valley in which he was put to death was called Achor
Joshua 6:26.
1 Chronicles 2:8 8 The son of Ethan was
Azariah.
YLT
8And sons of Ethan: Azariah.
And the sons of Ethan; Azariah. Including his posterity
see Genesis 46:23
the
posterity of the other three sons of Zerah are not mentioned
either because
the writer could not find the genealogy of them
as Kimchi; or rather
as he
thinks
he cuts short the genealogy of Zerah
because the kingdom did not
proceed from him
and returns to the genealogy of Hezron
from whence it did
or perhaps they had no children.
1 Chronicles 2:9 9 Also the sons of Hezron
who were born to him were Jerahmeel
Ram
and Chelubai.[b]
YLT
9And sons of Hezron who were
born to him; Jerahmeel
and Ram
and Chelubai.
The sons also of Hezron
that were born unto him
.... The
Targum adds
in Timnath; but most likely in Egypt:
Jerahmeel
and Ram
and Chelubai; afterwards called Caleb.
1 Chronicles 2:10 10 Ram begot Amminadab
and
Amminadab begot Nahshon
leader of the children of Judah;
YLT
10And Ram begat Amminadab
and Amminadab begat Nahshon
prince of the sons of Judah;
Verses 10-12
And Ram begat Amminadab
.... Ram is the same with
Aram
Matthew 1:3 the
genealogy is carried down from him to Jesse in the same order as there
and in 4:19 only here Nahshon the son of Amminadab is called
the prince of the children of Judah; which Kimchi and Jarchi
say is written for the honour of David
who descended from him; and Salmon his
son is here called Salma.
1 Chronicles 2:11 11 Nahshon begot Salma
[c] and Salma
begot Boaz;
YLT
11and Nahshon begat Salma
and Salma begat Boaz
1 Chronicles 2:12 12 Boaz begot Obed
and Obed
begot Jesse;
YLT
12and Boaz begat Obed
and
Obed begat Jesse;
1 Chronicles 2:13 13 Jesse begot Eliab his
firstborn
Abinadab the second
Shimea[d] the third
YLT
13and Jesse begat his
first-born Eliab
and Abinadab the second
and Shimea the third
Verses 13-15
And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab
and Abinadab the second
and
Shimma the third
Nathanael the fourth
Raddai the fifth
Ozem the sixth
David
the seventh. But Jesse had eight sons
1 Samuel 16:10
one
of them therefore is not reckoned
either because he was by another woman
and
the writer only mentions those that were of the same mother with David; this is
the opinion of Aben Ezra and Kimchi; some say he was dead before David came to
the kingdom; Kimchi mentions a Midrash
or exposition of theirs
according to
which his name was Elihu
and was younger than David
who is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:18
and Jarchi observes
that the writer
having found the pearl (David)
reckons
not the eighth son Elihu
though the Syriac and Arabic versions have inserted
him in this order
"Elihu the seventh
David the eighth"; some take
the eighth to be a grandson of Jesse
Jonathan the son of Shimea
2 Samuel 21:21 the
third son of Jesse
here called Shimma
as he is Shammah
1 Samuel 16:9.
1 Chronicles 2:14 14 Nethanel the fourth
Raddai the fifth
YLT
14Nethaneel the fourth
Raddai the fifth
1 Chronicles 2:15 15 Ozem the sixth
and
David the seventh.
YLT
15Ozem the sixth
David the
seventh
1 Chronicles 2:16 16 Now their sisters were
Zeruiah and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah were Abishai
Joab
and
Asahel—three.
YLT
16and their sisters Zeruiah
and Abigail. And sons of Zeruiah: Abishai
and Joab
and Asah-El -- three.
Whose sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail..... That is
sisters of David:
and the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai
and Joab
and Asahel
three; all valiant
men and captains in David's army; their father's name is nowhere mentioned.
1 Chronicles 2:17 17 Abigail bore Amasa; and
the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite.[e]
YLT
17And Abigail hath borne
Amasa
and the father of Amasa [is] Jether the Ishmeelite.
And Abigail bare Amasa
.... Who was Absalom's
general
afterwards reconciled to David
and designed to be made general of his
army
but was slain by Joab
see 2 Samuel 17:25
and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite; he is called
an Israelite
2 Samuel 17:25
and
so in the Targum here
he being either a proselyte
or else he was an Israelite
by birth
but called an Ishmaelite
because he had dwelt among the Ishmaelites
some time
as Obededom is called the Gittite for the like reason; so Jarchi and
Kimchi interpret it.
1 Chronicles 2:18 18 Caleb the son of Hezron
had children by Azubah
his wife
and by Jerioth. Now these were her
sons: Jesher
Shobab
and Ardon.
YLT
18And Caleb son of Hezron
hath begotten Azubah
Isshah
and Jerioth; and these [are] her sons: Jesher
and Shobab
and Ardon.
And Caleb the son of Hezron
.... The same that is
called Chelubai
1 Chronicles 2:9
but not the same with Caleb the son of Jephunneh
made mention of in the books
of Numbers
Joshua
and Judges:
he begat children of Azubah his wife
and of Jerioth; who were both
his wives; or it may be rather
since Azubah is so particularly called his
wife
Jerioth might be a concubine: or of Azubah he begat Jerioth; so the
Vulgate Latin
Syriac
and Arabic versions; though it seems best with HillerusF16Onomastic.
Sacr. p. 568. to interpret these names of the same person
and render the last
clause
"that is
of Jerioth"
of her whose name also was Jerioth
Azubah having two names; and the rather
since only the children of one are
mentioned
as follows:
her sons are these; Jesher
and Shobab
and Ardon of whom we
read nowhere else; the Targum says
Azubah was so called
because she was
barren and despised
which this clause contradicts.
1 Chronicles 2:19 19 When Azubah died
Caleb
took Ephrath[f] as his
wife
who bore him Hur.
YLT
19And Azubah dieth
and Caleb
taketh to him Ephrath
and she beareth to him Hur.
And when Azubah was dead
Caleb took unto him Ephrath
.... The
Targum is
"Miriam
who was called Ephrath"; but
according to
JosephusF17Antiqu. l. 3. c. 2.
it was his son Hur that was the
husband of Miriam the sister of Moses:
which bare him Hur; See Gill on Exodus 17:10.
1 Chronicles 2:20 20 And Hur begot Uri
and Uri
begot Bezalel.
YLT
20And Hur begat Uri
and Uri
begat Bezaleel.
And Hur begat Uri
and Uri begat Bezaleel. Who yet is not
thought to be the same Bezaleel we read of in Exodus 31:2 though
the fathers and grandfathers of both have the same names
and were of the same
tribe.
1 Chronicles 2:21 21 Now afterward Hezron went
in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead
whom he married when he was
sixty years old; and she bore him Segub.
YLT
21And afterwards hath Hezron
gone in unto a daughter of Machir father of Gilead
and he hath taken her
and
he [is] a son of sixty years
and she beareth to him Segub.
And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father
of Gilead
.... Which Machir was the son of Manasseh
and Gilead was his
grandson
Numbers 26:29 the
Targum is
"but he enticed a virgin
the daughter of Machir;'which
suggests
that he committed fornication with her
though he afterwards married
her; her name is not mentioned; to me it seems to be Abiah
1 Chronicles 2:24
and whom the Targum there calls the daughter of Machir:
whom he married when he was sixty years old; the Targum is
sixty six; this seems to be his last wife:
and she bare him Segub; the same name with the
youngest son of Hiel
who rebuilt Jericho
1 Kings 16:34.
1 Chronicles 2:22 22 Segub begot Jair
who had
twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead.
YLT
22And Segub begat Jair
and
he hath twenty and three cities in the land of Gilead
And Segub begat Jair
who had twenty three cities in the land of
Gilead. Which
according to Kimchi
he inherited in right of his wife
which
he says
he took out of the land of Gilead; but they seem to be rather
what he took by force of arms from the former inhabitants; see Numbers 32:41.
1 Chronicles 2:23 23 (Geshur and Syria took
from them the towns of Jair
with Kenath and its towns—sixty towns.) All these belonged
to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead.
YLT
23and he taketh Geshur and
Aram
the small villages of Jair
from them
with Kenath and its small towns
sixty cities -- all these [belonged to] the sons of Machir father of Gilead.
And he took Geshur
and Aram
with the towns of Jair
from them
.... Cities or
countries which the Geshurites and Aramaeans
or Syrians
before inhabited; and
which he took from them
together with other towns
which
being taken by him
were called after his name; the Targum is
the Geshurites and Aramaeans took
the villages of Jair from them; that is
from the sons of Jair in later times;
see Joshua 12:5.
with Kenath
and the towns thereof; which Jair took by Nobah
his general
and called it after his name
Numbers 32:42
even
sixty cities; see Deuteronomy 3:4.
all these belonged to the sons of Machir the father of Gilead: being given
him by Moses
Numbers 32:40.
1 Chronicles 2:24 24 After Hezron died in Caleb
Ephrathah
Hezron’s wife Abijah bore him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.
YLT
24And after the death of
Hezron in Caleb-Ephratah
then the wife of Hezron
Abijah
even beareth to him
Asshur
father of Tekoa.
And after that Hezron was dead in Calebephratah
.... Supposed
to be the same with Bethlehem; and was so called
both from Caleb the son of
Hezron
and Ephrath his wife
1 Chronicles 2:19
then Abiah
Hezron's wife
bare him Ashur the father of Tekoa; being left
with child by him at his death; the whole verse is paraphrased thus in the
Targum
"and after Hezron died in the house of Caleb his son in Ephrath
the wife of Hezron the daughter of Machir was left with child
and she bare to
him after his death Ashur the prince of the Tekoites;'whose son gave name very
probably to the city of Tekoa
2 Samuel 14:2.
1 Chronicles 2:25 25 The sons of Jerahmeel
the
firstborn of Hezron
were Ram
the firstborn
and Bunah
Oren
Ozem
and
Ahijah.
YLT
25And sons of Jerahmeel
first-born of Hezron
are: the first-born Ram
and Bunah
and Oren
and Ozem
Ahijah.
And the sons of Jerahmeel
the firstborn of Hezron
were Ram the
firstborn
.... So called by his father after the name of his brother
see 1 Chronicles 2:9.
and Bunah
and Oren
and Ozem
and Ahijah; or "of
Ahijah"
as someF18Junius
Tremellius
Piscator
Michaelis.
render it
this being the name of his wife
who bare him the sons before named
since mention is made of another wife in the next verse.
1 Chronicles 2:26 26 Jerahmeel had another
wife
whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.
YLT
26And Jerahmeel hath another
wife
and her name [is] Atarah
she [is] mother of Onam.
Jerahmeel had also another wife
whose name was Atarah
.... Distinct
from his wife before named; or "another woman"
which is a phrase for
an harlot or concubine
Judges 11:2 which
she might be
as Kimchi observes; though the former seems best:
she was the mother of Onam; and perhaps was the only
son she bore to Jerahmeel
of whose sons see 1 Chronicles 2:28.
1 Chronicles 2:27 27 The sons of Ram
the
firstborn of Jerahmeel
were Maaz
Jamin
and Eker.
YLT
27And sons of Ram
first-born
of Jerahmeel
are Maaz
and Jamin
and Eker.
And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel
.... By his
first wife:
were Maaz
and Jamin
and Eker; of whom no other notice
is taken; perhaps they left no children.
1 Chronicles 2:28 28 The sons of Onam were
Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai were Nadab and Abishur.
YLT
28And sons of Onam are
Shammai and Jada. And sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur.
And the sons of Onam
.... The son of Jerahmeel
by his other wife:
were Shammai and Jada. And the sons of Shammai; Nadab
and Abishur; whose
posterity are mentioned in the two following verses.
1 Chronicles 2:29 29 And the name of the wife
of Abishur was Abihail
and she bore him Ahban and Molid.
YLT
29And the name of the wife of
Abishur [is] Abihail
and she beareth to him Ahban and Molid.
And the name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail
.... Of the
same name was a wife of Rehoboam
a daughter of his grandfather David's eldest
brother
Eliab
2 Chronicles 11:18.
and she bare him Ahban
and Molid; which are no more
mentioned
they perhaps leaving no posterity.
1 Chronicles 2:30 30 The sons of Nadab were
Seled and Appaim; Seled died without children.
YLT
30And sons of Nadab: Seled
and Appaim; and Seled dieth without sons.
And the sons of Nadab
.... The eldest son of
Shammai
1 Chronicles 2:28
Seled and Appaim; but Seled died without children; and therefore
we hear no more of him.
1 Chronicles 2:31 31 The son of Appaim was
Ishi
the son of Ishi was Sheshan
and Sheshan’s son was Ahlai.
YLT
31And sons of Appaim: Ishi.
And sons of Ishi: Sheshan. And sons of Sheshan: Ahlai.
And the sons of Appaim; Ishi. And the sons of Ishi: Sheshan
.... Though
they had each of them but one son
yet the plural number is used
their
posterity being included
as in 1 Chronicles 2:8
and so in the next clause:
and the children of Sheshan; Ahlai; who
from 1 Chronicles 2:34
appears to be a daughter.
1 Chronicles 2:32 32 The sons of Jada
the
brother of Shammai
were Jether and Jonathan; Jether died without
children.
YLT
32And sons of Jada
brother
of Shammai: Jether
and Jonathan: and Jether dieth without sons.
And the sons of Jada the brother of Shammai
.... 1 Chronicles 2:28
Jether and Jonathan: and Jether died without children; the posterity
of Jonathan are given the next verse.
1 Chronicles 2:33 33 The sons of Jonathan were
Peleth and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel.
YLT
33And sons of Jonathan:
Peleth
and Zaza. These were sons of Jerahmeel.
And the sons of Jonathan; Peleth and Zaza
.... Of whom
no mention is made elsewhere:
these were the sons of Jerahmeel; not only his immediate
sons
but their posterity
called from him Jerahmeelites
1 Samuel 27:10.
1 Chronicles 2:34 34 Now Sheshan had no sons
only daughters. And Sheshan had an Egyptian servant whose name was
Jarha.
YLT
34And Sheshan had no sons
but daughters
and Sheshan hath a servant
an Egyptian
and his name [is]
Jarha
Now Sheshan had no sons
but daughters
.... And but
one of that sort
whose name was Ahlai
1 Chronicles 2:31
the plural being put here for the singular; or
if that is the name of a son
as some think
he died in his father's lifetime
and left no issue; so that
there only remained daughters
and it seems but one by the next verse:
and Sheshan had a servant
an Egyptian
whose name was Jarha; one born in
his house
and brought up by him
and a proselyte
such an one as Eliezer in
Abraham's family.
1 Chronicles 2:35 35 Sheshan gave his daughter
to Jarha his servant as wife
and she bore him Attai.
YLT
35and Sheshan giveth his
daughter to Jarha his servant for a wife
and she beareth to him Attai;
Verses 35-41
And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife
.... Having
first given him his freedom
as the Targum premises; this daughter seems to be
Ahlai
1 Chronicles 2:31
which receives confirmation from Zabad
one of the descendants of this man
1 Chronicles 2:36
being said to be the son of Ahlai
1 Chronicles 11:41
that is
great-grandson:
and she bare him Attai; the genealogy of whose
descendants is given to the end of 1 Chronicles 2:41
of whom no mention is made elsewhere
but of Zabad
as before observed; and
according to the Jews
it is given for the sake of Ishmael
the son of
Nethaniah the son of Elishama
the last person mentioned in this genealogy;
which Ishmael slew Gedaliah governor of Jerusalem
and is said to be of the
seed royal
Jeremiah 41:1.
1 Chronicles 2:36 36 Attai begot Nathan
and
Nathan begot Zabad;
YLT
36and Attai begat Nathan
and
Nathan begat Zabad
1 Chronicles 2:37 37 Zabad begot Ephlal
and
Ephlal begot Obed;
YLT
37and Zabad begat Ephlal
and
Ephlal begat Obed
1 Chronicles 2:38 38 Obed begot Jehu
and Jehu
begot Azariah;
YLT
38and Obed begat Jehu
1 Chronicles 2:39 39 Azariah begot Helez
and
Helez begot Eleasah;
YLT
39and Jehu begat Azariah
and
Azariah begat Helez
and Helez begat Eleasah
1 Chronicles 2:40 40 Eleasah begot Sismai
and
Sismai begot Shallum;
YLT
40and Eleasah begat Sismai
and Sismai begat Shallum
1 Chronicles 2:41 41 Shallum begot Jekamiah
and Jekamiah begot Elishama.
YLT
41and Shallum begat Jekamiah
and Jekamiah begat Elishama.
1 Chronicles 2:42 42 The descendants of Caleb
the brother of Jerahmeel were Mesha
his firstborn
who was the father
of Ziph
and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.
YLT
42And sons of Caleb brother
of Jerahmeel: Mesha his first-born
he [is] father of Ziph; and sons of
Mareshah: Abi-Hebron.
Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel
.... Called
Chelubai
1 Chronicles 2:9
and is the same Caleb spoken of in 1 Chronicles 2:18
and his sons next reckoned were by a third wife
Azubah
Ephrath being dead
1 Chronicles 2:19
and these sons were
Mesha his firstborn
which was the father of Ziph; who gave name
to the city of Ziph; there were two of this name in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:24 or
this is the title of Mesha
governor of the city of Ziph; so the Targum calls
him
prince of the Ziphites:
and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron; according to
Kimchi and Ben Melech
the words are to be supplied thus
"and the sons of
Ziph were Mareshah the father of Hebron"; which
though sometimes the name
of a city in the tribe of Judah
is here the name of a man
from whom
perhaps
the city had its name
since Hebron is said to have sons in the next verse;
Jarchi makes Mesha to be the prince of Ziph
and prince of the children of
Mareshah
and prince of Hebron.
1 Chronicles 2:43 43 The sons of Hebron were
Korah
Tappuah
Rekem
and Shema.
YLT
43And sons of Hebron: Korah
and Tappuah
and Rekem
and Shema.
And the sons of Hebron: Korah
and Tappuah
and Rekem
and Shema. One of these
Tappuah
is the name of a city in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:34 and
there is also Bethtappuah in the same tribe
1 Chronicles 2:53
which one
or both
might have their name from this man; and Shema also
1 Chronicles 2:26.
1 Chronicles 2:44 44 Shema begot Raham the
father of Jorkoam
and Rekem begot Shammai.
YLT
44And Shema begat Raham
father of Jorkoam
and Rekem begat Shammai.
And Shema begat Raham
the father of Jorkoam
.... Which
HillerusF19Onomast. Sacr. p. 329. takes to be the name of a city in
the tribe of Judah; and Jarchi's note is
that wherever the word
"father" is here used
it is to be understood of the prince of a city
that follows:
and Rekem begat Shammai; there is a descendant of
Jerahmeel
the brother of Caleb
of this name
1 Chronicles 2:28.
1 Chronicles 2:45 45 And the son of Shammai was
Maon
and Maon was the father of Beth Zur.
YLT
45And a son of Shammai [is]
Maon
and Maon [is] father of Beth-Zur.
And the son of Shammai was Maon
.... Who gave name to a
city in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:55 see 1 Samuel 23:24.
and Maon was the father of Bethzur; prince of a very strong
fortified city of this name in the same tribe
Joshua 15:58
unless this was a son of Maon's
from whom the city had its name.
1 Chronicles 2:46 46 Ephah
Caleb’s concubine
bore Haran
Moza
and Gazez; and Haran begot Gazez.
YLT
46And Ephah concubine of
Caleb bare Haran
and Moza
and Gazez; and Haran begat Gazez.
And Ephah Caleb's concubine bare Haran
and Moza
and Gazez
.... An
half-wife
or secondary wife; for though this man seems not to have had more
wives than one at a time
yet he had concubines with them; we read of another
after this
if not a third:
and Haran begat Gazez; whom he so named after
his brother.
1 Chronicles 2:47 47 And the sons of Jahdai were
Regem
Jotham
Geshan
Pelet
Ephah
and Shaaph.
YLT
47And sons of Jahdai: Regem
and Jotham
and Geshem
and Pelet
and Ephah
and Shaaph.
And the sons of Jahdai
.... Who is not mentioned
by this name before; perhaps the same with Moza
who might have two names
though
according to HillerusF20Onomast. Sacr. p. 841.
he was the
son of Moza; some take it to be the name of another of Caleb's concubines
by
whom he had the six following sons:
Regem
and Jotham
and Geshan
and Pelet
and Ephah
and Shaaph; one of these
Pelet perhaps
gave name to Bethpalet in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:27.
1 Chronicles 2:48 48 Maachah
Caleb’s
concubine
bore Sheber and Tirhanah.
YLT
48The concubine of Caleb
Maachah
bare Sheber and Tirhanah;
Maachah
Caleb's concubine
.... Another concubine of
his:
bare Sheber
and Tirhanah; or of whom Caleb begot
those two; for the verb is masculine; so Kimchi.
1 Chronicles 2:49 49 She also bore Shaaph the
father of Madmannah
Sheva the father of Machbenah and the father of Gibea. And
the daughter of Caleb was Achsah.
YLT
49and she beareth Shaaph
father of Madmannah
Sheva father of Machbenah
and father of Gibea; and a
daughter of Caleb [is] Achsa.
She bare also Shaaph the father of Madmannah
.... Prince of
a place so called
in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:31.
Sheva the father of Machbenah
and the father of Gibeah; prince of two
cities of those names in the same tribe; of the latter see Joshua 15:57
and the daughter of Caleb was Achsah; Caleb
the
son of Jephunneh
had a daughter of this name
but neither he nor she are here
meant
Joshua 15:16 but by
whom Caleb
the son of Hezron
had this daughter
is not said; perhaps by
Maachah his concubine last mentioned.
1 Chronicles 2:50 50 These were the descendants
of Caleb: The sons of Hur
the firstborn of Ephrathah
were Shobal the
father of Kirjath Jearim
YLT
50These were sons of Caleb
son of Hur
first-born of Ephrathah: Shobal father of Kirjath-Jearim
These were the sons of Caleb the son of Hur
the firstborn of
Ephratah
.... This is another Caleb
the grandson of Caleb the son of
Hezron
called after his name; he was the son of Hur
the firstborn of his wife
Ephratah
1 Chronicles 2:19.
Shobal the father of Kirjathjearim: of the inhabitants of
that place; they sprung from him; or
as the Targum
he was prince of
Kirjathjearim
a city in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:60.
1 Chronicles 2:51 51 Salma the father of
Bethlehem
and Hareph the father of Beth Gader.
YLT
51Salma father of Beth-Lehem
Hareph father of Beth-Gader.
Salma the father of Bethlehem
.... Or prince of
Bethlehem
as the Targum; not the same as in 1 Chronicles 2:11
he was the son of Nahshon
this of the younger Caleb:
Hareph
the father of Bethgader; prince of a place of
that name called Gedor
1 Chronicles 4:4
and where this man's name is Penuel; Gedor was in the tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:58.
1 Chronicles 2:52 52 And Shobal the father of
Kirjath Jearim had descendants: Haroeh
and half of the families of
Manuhoth.[g]
YLT
52And there are sons to
Shobal father of Kirjath-Jearim: Haroeh
half of the Menuhothite;
And Shobal
the father of Kirjathjearim had sons
.... Which
shows that Kirjathjearim is not the name of a man
or of any of Shobal's sons
who are next mentioned
but of a place of which he was prince: the first is
Haroeh
who is called Reaiah
1 Chronicles 4:2 a
word of the same signification:
and half of the Manahethites; which Kimchi takes to be
the proper name of a man called Chatzihamanaheth
another son of Shobal's; but Jarchi
interprets it of the name of a place or province called Manahath
1 Chronicles 8:6
over half of which Haroeh was governor.
1 Chronicles 2:53 53 The families of Kirjath
Jearim were the Ithrites
the Puthites
the Shumathites
and the
Mishraites. From these came the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites.
YLT
53and the families of
Kirjath-Jearim: the Ithrite
and the Puhite
and the Shumathite
and the Mishraite:
from these went out the Zareathite
and the Eshtaulite.
And the families of Kirjathjearim
.... That dwelt there
of
which Shobal was prince
and who sprung from him
are as follow:
the Ithrite
and the Puhites
and the Shumathites
and the Mishraites; who had their
names from Jether
Putha
Shumath
and Mishra
descendants of Shobal:
of them came the Zareathites
and the Eshtaulites; that is
from
the Mishraites sprung the inhabitants of Zeroth and Eshtaol
places in the
tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:33.
1 Chronicles 2:54 54 The sons of Salma were
Bethlehem
the Netophathites
Atroth Beth Joab
half of the Manahethites
and
the Zorites.
YLT
54Sons of Salma: Beth-Lehem
and the Netophathite
Atroth
Beth-Joab
and half of the Menuhothite
the
Zorite;
The sons of Salma
.... Another son of the younger Caleb
1 Chronicles 2:50
whose sons were Bethlehem
the inhabitants of the place
at least many of them
of which he was prince
1 Chronicles 2:51
and the Netophathite; the inhabitants of Netophah
a place in the tribe of
Judah
mentioned along with Bethlehem
Nehemiah 7:26 these
sprung from Salma:
Ataroth
the house of Joab; Ataroth seems to be the
name of a place in the tribe of Judah
where the family of Joab lived
the
inhabitants of which were the descendants of Salma:
and half of the Manahethites; the other half of the
inhabitants of Manahath
see 1 Chronicles 2:52
the Zorites; part also of them
called Zareathites
1 Chronicles 2:53.
1 Chronicles 2:55 55 And the families of the
scribes who dwelt at Jabez were the Tirathites
the Shimeathites
and
the Suchathites. These were the Kenites who came from Hammath
the
father of the house of Rechab.
YLT
55and the families of the
scribes the inhabitants of Jabez: Tirathites
Shimeathites
Suchathites. They
[are] the Kenites
those coming of Hammath father of the house of Rechab.
And the families of the
scribes which dwelt at Jabez
.... A city in Judah
the founder of which
perhaps
was Jabez
mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:9 in
which learned men dwelt:
the Tirathites
the Shimeathites
and Suchathites; who sprung
from men whose names were Tira
Shimea
and Sucha; and if they were not the
posterity of Salma
yet dwelt among his
and so are reckoned with them; perhaps
the latter might have their name from dwelling in tents; the former clause may
be rendered
"that dwelt with Jabez"
who was their master
and they
his scholars; in the Vulgate Latin version the words are rendered as
appellatives
"singing and resounding
and dwelling in tents": Conrad
Pellican
on the place
goes a middle way
and interprets these families as
dwelling with Jabez their master
and they his scholars
and that they were
called by their progenitors Tirathites
because learned and ingenious
and
praecentors of the divine oracles; Shimeathites
because they diligently
hearkened to the sacred songs
and the doctrines of the law of God; and
Suchathites
because they dwelt not in cities
but in tents
despisers of all
worldly things
that they might freely attend to learn:
these are the Kenites; that is
the Suchathites
are the Kenites
who
it is well known
dwelt in tents
and not in cities;
though Jarchi takes these Kenites to be the inhabitants of Cain
a city in the
tribe of Judah
Joshua 15:57 but
they seem rather to be the Kenites that sprung from Jethro
here made mention
of
because some of them dwelt in the tribe of Judah
and among the posterity
of Salma
see Judges 1:16.
that came of Hemath
the father of the house of Rechab; the prince of
that family
and who from Rechab were called Rechabites
Jeremiah 35:2.
