歴代誌Ⅰ 2:42-49 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:42-49

These verses are occupied with the resumption of descendants of Caleb—the Caleb apparently of 1 Chronicles 2:9 and 1 Chronicles 2:18 , though, this being so, the last clause in 1 Chronicles 2:49 , the daughter of Caleb, Achsa , will require accounting for. This statement would lead us to suppose that we were assuredly reading of Caleb the son of Jephunneh; but it cannot be so. The name of Caleb, with the questions gathering round it, will be best considered here. Of the nine times in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:46-49

Give the names (the first of which appears as that of a man also, next verse and 1 Chronicles 1:33 ) of two additional concubines of Caleb, and of their descendants. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:47

Offers us another name, Jahdai, not to be accounted for with any certainty. It is not linked to the context, and nothing is known of the six sons assigned to the person owning it. That Gazez occurs twice in the previous verse is remarkable, and suggestive, possibly, of mistake. The Septuagint omits altogether the clause in which it is found the second time. Houbigant translates, "Porro Haran genuit Jahdai," and so summarily removes the difficulty from his way (Barrington's 'Genealogies,'... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 2:42

A third line of descent from Caleb, the son of Hezron, the issue probably of a different mother, perhaps Jerioth 1 Chronicles 2:18. The supposed omissions in this verse have been supplied as follows:(1) “Mesha, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Ziph, Mareshah, the father of Hebron;” or(2) “Mareshah, the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah, the father of Ziph, Hebron.”Ziph, like Jorkoam 1 Chronicles 2:44 and Beth-zur 1 Chronicles 2:45, is the name of a place where the respective chiefs... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:1-55

Descendants of Judah and Simeon (2:1-4:43)Having listed the children of Jacob (Israel) starting with the eldest son Reuben, the writer immediately turns his attention to the tribe of Judah, the tribe that produced the dynasty of David (2:1-17). He traces the line of David first, then goes back to deal with a number of other important people in Judah and lists their descendants (18-55). On completing this, he returns to list the family of David (3:1-9), the descendants of David who reigned after... read more
