Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:1-27

This paragraph has Adam for its first word and Abraham for its last. Between the creation of the former and the birth of the latter were 2000 years, almost the one-half of which time Adam himself lived. Adam was the common father of our flesh, Abraham the common father of the faithful. By the breach which the former made of the covenant of innocency, we were all made miserable; by the covenant of grace made with the latter, we all are, or may be, made happy. We all are, by nature, the seed of... read more

The sons of Japheth, Gomer ,.... Here begins the genealogy of the sons of Noah after the flood; of the sons of Japheth the elder, in this and the two following verses; next of the sons of Ham, the younger brother, 1 Chronicles 1:8 , then of Shem, whose posterity are mentioned last, because from him, in the line of Heber, sprang Abraham, the ancestor of the Jewish nation, of whom the Messiah was to come, for whose sake this genealogy is given, 1 Chronicles 1:17 . The whole is the same... read more

C. LIST OF THE SONS , GRANDSONS , AND GREAT - GRANDSONS OF HAM . This list consists of four sons of Ham, of six grandsons, including Nimrod , through Cush , the eldest son of Ham ; of seven grandsons through Mizraim , the second son of Ham; of eleven grandsons through Canaan , the fourth son of Ham; of two great-grandsons through Raamah , Cush's fourth son;—thirty descendants in all. No issue is given of Put , the third son of Hem. The parallel list is found... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:16

This verse furnishes us with one illustration of the assertion made above, that the clues to the ethnological and ethnographical statements of these most ancient records are not necessarily all hopelessly lost. In the name Zemarite , it is suggested by Michaelis, that we have allusion to the place Sumra, on the west coast of Syria, this Sumra being the Siniyra of Pliny ('Hist. Nat.,' 5.20), and of the Spanish geographer of the first century, Pomponius Mela (1. 12). But the place Zimira, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:17-27

D. THE LIST OF SHEM 'S DESCENDANTS TO ABRAM . This list is broken in two; it pauses a moment exactly halfway to Abram, at the name Peleg , to mention Peleg's brother Joktan and Joktan's thirteen sons. Then, repeating the first five names of lineal descent, and picking up the thread at Peleg, the list gives the remaining five to Abram. In the first half of this list, we have apparently the names of nine sons of Shem, but, as Genesis explains, really the names of five sons, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 1:16

The Zemarite - See Genesis 10:18 note. The inscriptions of the Assyrian monarch, Sargon, (720 B.C.) mention Zimira, which is joined with Arpad (Arvad); and there can be little doubt that it is the city indicated by the term “Zemarite.” read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 1:17

The sons of Shem - i. e., descendants. Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshech (or Mash), are stated to have been “sons of Aram” Genesis 10:23. Meshech is the reading of all the MSS., and is supported by the Septuagint here and in Genesis 10:23. It seems preferable to “Mash,” which admits of no very probable explanation. Just as Hamites and Semites were intermingled in Arabia (Genesis 10:7, note; Genesis 10:29, note), so Semites and Japhethites may have been intermingled in Cappadocia - the country of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 1:14

1 Chronicles 1:14. The Jebusite The names which follow until 1Ch 1:17 are not the names of particular persons, but of people, or nations. And all these descended from Canaan, though some of them were afterward extinct, or confounded with others of their brethren by cohabitation or mutual marriages, whereby they lost their names; which is the reason why they are no more mentioned, at least under these names. read more

1 Chronicles 1:17-19. The sons of Shem Either the name of sons is so taken here as to include grandsons, or the children of Aram are understood before Uz, out of Genesis 10:23, where they are expressed. Arphaxad begat Either immediately, or mediately by his son Canaan, who is expressed Luke 3:35. Divided In their languages and habitations. read more
