Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:34

Theological / Devotional

Sheshan had no sons. Verses 34-41 deal with the descendants of Sheshan, giving the pedigree of Elishama (v. 41). It is presumed that Elishama lived about the time of the chronicler. No contemporary of Ezra is known who bears this name, but in Jer. 36:12 there was an Elishama, one of the princes of Judah at the time of Jeremiah, who held the position of scribe. Since Sheshan is the tenth in descent from Judah, and since Elishama appeared 14 generations later, it is entirely possible that the Elishama whose pedigree is here given is the prince of Judah mentioned in Jer. 36:12.
