Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:3

Theological / Devotional

Children of Perez. Perez or Pharez, was of the tribe of Judah (ch. 2:4), and of the branch from which David himself sprang (ch. 2:4–15).

The chief. This was Jashobeam (v. 2). Jashobeam, however, was not David’s leading general. That post belonged to Joab, a son of David’s sister Zeruiah (chs. 2:16; 11:6; 20:1).
