G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 2:1-55

Still the same method is manifest. The twelve sons of Israel are mentioned. All of them are subsequently referred to, with the exception of Dan and Zebulun, of whose descendants this chronicler gives no account. The direct line of interest in tracing the divine method passes through Judah. The process of exclusion still goes forward on the principles of character. Er, the firstborn, is slain because of his evil, and Achar likewise. Some lines of descent excluded are again traced, and for the... read more
