Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 4:7
And Ethnan - After this word we should, with the Targum, read Coz, whose posterity is mentioned in the next verse. Coz was probably the same as Kenaz. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 4:1-2
The Carrot of 1 Chronicles 4:1 is considered to lie doubtful between the Carmi of 1 Chronicles 2:7 or the Chelubai of 1 Chronicles 2:9 , in which last alternation the five names of this verse would repeat the line of descent with which chrii, had made us familiar. Even then the object or advantage of repeating the first four of these, so far as what follows is concerned, is not evident. We keep near the close of 1 Chronicles 2:1-55 . also in respect of another allusion to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 4:1-23
EXPOSITION After the large space given to the "sons of David," of the tribe of Judah, in the previous chapter, this chapter returns for twenty-three verses to group together a few additional ramifications of the same tribe, whose registers were for some reasons, perhaps not very evident, preserved and known. The first verses follow in the direction already indicated in 1 Chronicles 2:1-55 ; near the end of which we were left with Shobal and Haroeh, probably the same with Reaiah (the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 4:3-4
Etam is, with little doubt, the name of a place ( 2 Chronicles 11:6 ) in Judah, south of Jerusalem. It was near Tekoah ( 1 Chronicles 4:5 , and 1 Chronicles 2:24 ) and Bethlehem (next verse). The hiatus in the first clause may possibly be supplied by "the families of" from the last verse, or, more fitly, by "the sons of," inasmuch as some manuscripts have it so. The Septuagint, however, and Vulgate displace "the father of" ( i.e. chief of ), replacing it by "the sons of." The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 4:5-7
Another before-mentioned person ( 1 Chronicles 2:24 ) is brought forward, viz. Ashur, the posthumous son of Hezron by Abia, now again, as there, styled father, or chief, of Tekoa, a town, as above, near Etam, Bethlehem, etc. He is brought forward that the names of his two wives, with four children to the latter of them and three to the former, may be given. The Roman Septuagint unaccountably gives different names to the mothers, and reverses the groups of the four and three children. Nothing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 4:8
The link of connection between the persons named in this verse and the tribe of Judah is utterly unknown. The introduction of them, abrupt as it is, is, however, paralleled by many others ira-mediately following in this chapter, as well as elsewhere. Nothing has yet been produced in elucidation of any one of the persons designated by these names, or of their relation to the context. read more
