Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:3

Theological / Devotional

The sons of Judah. The names here given agree with those of Gen. 38, although the account here is greatly abbreviated.

Er, the firstborn. Compare Gen. 38:7.

He slew him. The inclusion of this statement from the original record (see Gen. 38:7) is in keeping with the chronicler’s purpose of presenting an account that shows the terrible fruitage of sin and the rewards of righteousness.
