Poole on 1 Chronicles 2:34-41: The Sons of Jerahmeel of Hezron, Part 2



Verse 34:[1]  Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters.  And Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha.


[Sheshan had no sons]  Understanding, living when he died; for his son, concerning whom verse 31, had died with him yet living (Vatablus out of the Hebrews, Mariana).  Others more correctly:  not sons, but a daughter, verse 31 (Malvenda).


[But daughters]  Synecdochically expressed, in the place of, but a daughter, verse 31.  Thus in Genesis 21:7 (Malvenda out of Junius); 46:7 (Malvenda).


Sheshan had no sons, to wit, living when he died, his son Ahlai, verse 31, dying before him; unless Ahlai was the name of a daughter.

 

Verse 35:[2]  And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife; and she bare him Attai.

[And he gave to him]  Namely, his servant, but previously emancipated (Grotius).

 

Verse 36:[3]  And Attai begat Nathan, and Nathan begat Zabad…

[And Nathan begat Zabad]  Concerning whom 1 Chronicles 11:41 (Junius).

 

Verse 37:[4]  And Zabad begat Ephlal, and Ephlal begat Obed…

 

Verse 38:[5]  And Obed begat Jehu, and Jehu begat Azariah…

 

Verse 39:[6]  And Azariah begat Helez, and Helez begat Eleasah…

 

Verse 40:[7]  And Eleasah begat Sisamai, and Sisamai begat Shallum…

 

Verse 41:[8]  And Shallum begat Jekamiah, and Jekamiah begat Elishama.
