Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:13

Theological / Devotional

Jesse begat. Verses 13-17 contain the names of the family of Jesse. According to 1 Sam. 16:10, 11; 1 Sam. 17:12-14, Jesse had eight sons, of whom David was the youngest, but here David is given as the seventh son of Jesse (v. 15). Perhaps one on of Jesse’s sons died leaving no progeny. In both Chronicles and Samuel, Eliab, Abinadab, and Shimma (or Shammah) appear as the first three sons.
