G. M. "1 and 2 Chronicles" (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1982) pp. 25–28. apud Throntveit 2003, p. 376. as follows:Throntveit 2003 376 A Descendants of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah (2:3–8) B Descendants of Ram up to David (2:9–17) C Descendants of Caleb (2:18–24) D Descendants of Jerahmeel (2:25–33) D' Descendants of Jerahmeel (2:34–41) C' Descendants of Caleb (2:42–55) B' Descendants of Ram following David [David's descendants] (3:1–24) A' Descendants of Shelah, Judah s only surviving son (4:21–23)Throntveit 2003 376 The family of Israel (2:1–2) 1 These are the sons of Israel; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun, 2 Dan, Joseph, and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.1 Chronicles 2:1–2 KJV KJV "Israel": is "Jacob" (Genesis 10:3 9). In Chronicles he is exclusively called Israel (not Jacob), except for the citation of Psalm 105 at 1 Chronicles 16:17 9.Mathys 2007 269 The twelve sons of Israel are not listed by birth order (cf. Genesis 29:31 9–Genesis 30:24 9; Genesis 35:16–18 9), but arranged based on Genesis 35:22–26 9 as follows:Tuell 2012 21–22 the six sons of Leah; Dan, the son of Rachel's handmaid; the sons of Rachel; the remaining sons of the handmaids. Dan is placed before the sons of Rachel (cf. Genesis 35:23 9) perhaps in reference to Rachel's wishing that the son of her maid Bilhah to be accounted her own (Genesis 30:3-6 9).Keil, Carl Friedrich; Delitzsch, Franz. Commentary on the Old Testament (1857-1878). 1 Chronicles 2. Accessed 24 Juni 2018. The subsequent parts mention every tribe with the exception of Zebulun and Dan, without any explanation of the omission.Mathys 2007 269 Nonetheless, Zebulun is mentioned in the Levitical town lists (1 Chronicles 6:63 9, 1 Chronicles 6:77 9 77) and in some narratives (1 Chronicles 12:33 9, 1 Chronicles 12:40 9 40, 1 Chronicles 27:19 9, 2 Chronicles 30:10–11 9, 2 Chronicles 30:18 9 18), whereas Dan is mentioned in Chronicles only in three places (1 Chronicles 12:35 9, 1 Chronicles 27:22 9, 2 Chronicles 2:13–14 9).Tuell 2012 29 From Judah to David (2:3–17) The family of Judah has the largest genealogy among the tribes of Israel, about 100 verses in 3 chapters, with the house of David as the main focus.Endres 2012 10 Verses 3–5 are related mainly to Genesis 38, as well as to Genesis 46:12 and Numbers 26:19–22, whereas verse 5 is also tied to Ruth 4:18.Mathys 2007 269 The list of Hezron's descendants started in verse 9 with the emphasis on the family of Ram ben Hezron down to David and his siblings (verse 17).Tuell 2012 24 Verses 10–12 contain the line from Ram to Jesse, whose seven sons are listed in verses 13–17, and the last of these is David, as the climax of the chapter. Mathys 2007 269 These verses (including verse 9) are linked to Ruth 4:19–22 (cf. 1 Samuel 16:6–10; 17:13). David was the seventh son in verse 15, whereas 1 Samuel 16:10–11; 17:12 assumes eight sons of Jesse.Mathys 2007 269 Nethaneel, Raddai, and Ozem are not mentioned in other texts.Mathys 2007 269 David's sisters are mentioned in verses 16–17 (cf. 2 Samuel 17:25).Mathys 2007 269 Verse 7 And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed.1 Chronicles 2:7 KJV KJV Cross reference: Joshua 7:1 "Achar": refers the story reported in Joshua 7:25 9, with a play on words, that the Chronicler renamed "Achan" in the Book of Joshua, to "Achar", because he brought "trouble" (achar) upon Israel.Mathys 2007 269 The extended family of Hezron ben Perez (2:18–24) Verse 20 And Hur begot Uri, and Uri begot Bezalel.1 Chronicles 2:20 KJV KJV "Bezalel": the chief builder of the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:2 9, Exodus 35:30 9). The family of Jerahmeel ben Hezron (2:25–41) Verses 34–35 display special attitude of the Chronicler towards foreigners: because Sheshan had no sons, his line would continue through his daughters and an Egyptian servant.Mathys 2007 269 The family of Caleb ben Hezron (2:42–55) The other descendants of Caleb are enumerated in 1 Chronicles 2:42-49, of which the two latter, 1 Chronicles 2:46-55, are the descendants from his concubines. Verse 42 Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were Mesha his firstborn, which was the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.1 Chronicles 2:42 KJV KJV "Caleb brother of Jerahmeel": is the same person as "Caleb son of Hezron" (1 Chronicles 2:18) and "Chelubai" (1 Chronicles 2:9).Ellicott, C.
