Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:9

Theological / Devotional

The sons also of Hezron. The clan of Hezron was evidently important among the descendants of Judah, for vs. 9-55 of this chapter are devoted to Hezron’s descendants.

Jerahmeel Although Jerahmeel is mentioned frequently in this genealogy (vs. 9, 25-27, 33, 42), his name does not appear elsewhere in the OT except as his descendants, the Jerahmeelites, are referred to in 1 Sam 27:10; 1 Sam. 30:29, as living in southern Judah. Two other persons by his name are mentioned (1 Chron. 24:29; Jer. 36:26).

Ram. Jerahmeel also had a son by this name (1 Chron. 2:25). The Ram of Ruth 4:19; Matt. 1:3; and Luke 3:33, however, was the son of Hezron.

Chelubai. Probably a term designating the clan of Caleb, the son of Hezron (v. 18).
