Poole on 1 Chronicles 2:25-33: The Sons of Jerahmeel of Hezron

Verse 25:[1]  And the sons of Jerahmeel the firstborn of Hezron were, Ram the firstborn, and Bunah, and Oren, and Ozem, and Ahijah.

[And Ozem and Ahijah, ‎וָאֹ֖צֶם אֲחִיָּֽה׃]  And Ozem, Ahijah (Montanus).  Ozem and Ahijah (Munster, Tigurinus).  Both Ozem and Ahijah (Pagnine).  And Ozem of Ahijah (Junius and Tremellius), so that it might be the name of the wife of Jerahmeel; which has some satisfactory support out of the following verse (Malvenda).  Others:  and Ozem his brother[2] (Septuagint); and Ozem their sister[3] (Syriac, Arabic).

And Ahijah:  Or, of (the prefix, מ/mem being oft understood) Ahijah; his wife so called, as may seem probable from the next verse, where he mentions another wife.

Verse 26:[4]  Jerahmeel had also another wife, whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam.

Verse 27:[5]  And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel were, Maaz, and Jamin, and Eker.

Verse 28:[6]  And the sons of Onam were, Shammai, and Jada.  And the sons of Shammai; Nadab, and Abishur.

Verse 29:[7]  And the name of the wife of Abishur was Abihail, and she bare him Ahban, and Molid.

Verse 30:[8]  And the sons of Nadab; Seled, and Appaim:  but Seled died without children.

[And he died…without children, ‎לֹ֥א בָנִֽים׃]  Not having children (Septuagint).

Verse 31:[9]  And the sons of Appaim; Ishi.  And the sons of Ishi; Sheshan.  And (see 1 Chron. 2:34, 35) the children of Sheshan; Ahlai.

The sons of Appaim; an expression oft used, both afterwards in this verse, and elsewhere, and in profane authors too, where there is but one son.  It is an enallage of the number, which is frequent in the Hebrew.

[Moreover, Sheshan begat Ahlai, ‎וּבְנֵ֥י שֵׁשָׁ֖ן אַחְלָֽי׃]  And the sons of Sheshan; Ahlai (Montanus, Malvenda, Syriac, Arabic, Munster, Tigurinus, Pagnine, Piscator).  That Ahlai is the name of a woman, verses 34 and 35 teach (Piscator).  And the daughter of Sheshan, Ahlai (Junius and Tremellius).  Hebrew:  sons:  a Synecdoche of species, insofar as the term sons is understood generally, in such a way that it comprehends daughters (Piscator).  That is to say, Whatever children Sheshan had, was one daughter, Ahlai (Junius).  It is also an enallage of number, which sort was above in verse 8.  Similarly the Latins.  Terence,[10] Hecrya 2:1, concerning one daughter:  Who declared him worthy, to whom they would commit their children.  And so it could be translated here, the children of Sheshan, Ahlai (Piscator).  Others maintain that Ahlai was a son (Malvenda).

Verse 32:[11]  And the sons of Jada the brother of Shammai; Jether, and Jonathan:  and Jether died without children.

Verse 33:[12]  And the sons of Jonathan; Peleth, and Zaza.  These were the sons of Jerahmeel.
