1 Chronicles 2:1,2

1 Chronicles 2:1 The Sons of Israel. The sons of Israel are the subject of the following genealogies. Here the author lists the biological sons of Jacob (see Genesis 35:22). When he lists the tribes later in the book he traces how the land was divided (see Joshua 13:1). Thus, he includes the half-tribes of Manasseh in Transjordan (1 Chronicles 5:23) and west of the Jordan (1 Chronicles 7:14) and omits Zebulun and Dan.
