EXPOSITION The interest of this chapter owes something to the several unsatisfied questions which it suggests, to difficult and knotty points which nevertheless do not altogether counsel despair, and to occasional significant indications of sources drawn upon by the compiler, certainly quite additional to the contents of the existing books of the Old Testament. We know something of what we have to expect when the name of Israel, or Jacob, is announced in the first verse, with his twelve sons—those "patriarchs," some of whom (certainly not as many as eleven, for Reuben was absent, and, with scarcely a doubt, Benjamin), "moved with envy, sold into Egypt Joseph," the twelfth (Acts 7:9). We here enter, in fact, upon the genealogies and tables and enumeratious of collateral lines of "all Israel," to which the whole of the following seven chapters are devoted ...

Ver. 13-15. AND JESSE BEGAT HIS FIRSTBORN ELIAB, AND ABINADAB THE SECOND, AND SHIMMA THE THIRD, NATHANAEL THE FOURTH, RADDAI THE FIFTH, OZEM THE SIXTH, DAVID THE SEVENTH. But Jesse had eight sons, 1 Samuel 16:10, one of them therefore is not reckoned, either because he was by another woman, and the writer only mentions those that were of the same mother with David; this is the opinion of Aben Ezra and Kimchi; some say he was dead before David came to the kingdom; Kimchi mentions a Midrash, or exposition of theirs, according to which his name was Elihu, and was younger than David, who is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:18, and Jarchi observes, that the writer, having found the pearl (David), reckons not the eighth son Elihu, though the Syriac and Arabic versions have inserted him in this order, ...

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

DAVID. The different spelling of many of these names in the Hebrew is due to certain vowels being written out in full (" _pl_ ene"). Where not written they are called "defective". The fact of this difference in Chronicles shows an independent origin. THE SEVENTH. Jesse begat eight sons (1 Samuel 16:5 and 1 Chronicles 17:12). Here seven are numbered and named, and David is the seventh and the youngest; the eighth may have died young and left no issue. While it was proper to mention the eight in the _history,_ it is unnecessary to do so in the _genealogy._...
