1 Chronicles 2:34

_NOW SHESHAN HAD NO SONS, BUT DAUGHTERS. AND SHESHAN HAD A SERVANT, AN EGYPTIAN, WHOSE NAME WAS JARHA._ Sheshan had no sons, but daughters - either he had no sons alive at his death, or his family consisted wholly of daughters, of whom Ahlai, 1 Chronicles 2:31, was one, she being specially mentioned on account of the domestic relation about to be noticed.

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 ...

NOW SHESHAN HAD NO SONS, BUT DAUGHTERS,.... And but one of that sort, whose name was Ahlai, 1 Chronicles 2:31 the plural being put here for the singular; or, if that is the name of a son, as some think, he died in his father's lifetime, and left no issue; so that there only remained daughters, and it seems but one by the next verse: AND SHESHAN HAD A SERVANT, AN EGYPTIAN, WHOSE NAME WAS JARHA; one born in his house, and brought up by him, and a proselyte, such an one as Eliezer in Abraham's family....
