Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:1-17

Here is, I. The family of Jacob. His twelve sons are here named, that illustrious number so often celebrated almost throughout the whole Bible, from the first to the last book of it. At every turn we meet with the twelve tribes that descended from these twelve patriarchs. The personal character of several of them was none of the best (the first four were much blemished), and yet the covenant was entailed on their seed; for it was of grace, free grace, that it was said, Jacob have I loved?not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 2:3

The sons of Judah ,.... The genealogy begins with him, though the fourth son of Jacob; because, as Kimchi says, this book treats chiefly of the kings of Judah; but rather not only because Jesse and David sprang from him, but also the King Messiah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, which three were born unto him of the daughter of Shua the Canaanitess ; see Genesis 38:2 , and Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the sight of the Lord ; because he did that which was evil: and he slew... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 2:3

1 Chronicles 2:3. The sons of Judah He puts Judah first, because the best part of the right of the firstborn, namely, the dominion, was conferred on him, Genesis 49:8; in consequence of which, his tribe obtained a pre- eminence among, and a kind of superiority over the rest, even before the time of David.

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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 2:3

THE FIVE SONS OF JUDAH, FROM Genesis 38:0.(3) The daughter of Shua the Canaanitess.—Shua was the father of Judah’s wife.Er, the firstborn of Judah, was (became, proved) evil.—Word for word from Genesis 38:7.
