1 Chronicles 2:15

_OZEM THE SIXTH, DAVID THE SEVENTH:_ DAVID THE SEVENTH. Since it appears (1 Samuel 16:10; 1 Samuel 17:12) that Jesse had eight sons, the presumption is, from David being mentioned here as the seventh son of his father, that one of them had died at an early age, without leaving issue....

DAVID THE SEVENTH - Jesse had eight sons, of whom David was the youngest 1 Samuel 16:10; 1 Samuel 17:12. Probably one of the sons shown to Samuel at Bethlehem did not grow up....

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 ...

OZEM THE SIXTH, DAVID THE SEVENTH— _Ozem the sixth, Elihu the seventh, David the eighth._ Houbigant. Comp. 1 Samuel 16:11; 1 Samuel 17:12 from which it will appear that Jesse had _eight sons,_ and that David was the youngest of them. Houbigant follows the Syriac and Arabic. REFLECTIONS.—We have here the illustrious family of Jacob; and of them, Judah, as most distinguished, has the pre-eminence in his genealogy. Of him we have the largest account, not only because he was of the royal tribe, but for the Messiah's sake, who sprung from him. The names of many of his descendants, Er, Onan, Achan, and Tamar, his incestuous daughter-in-law, are marked with infamy in Scripture: yet to these was the friend of sinners allied, and from her descended. Let not the greatest criminals despai
