1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 2:25 Two lists (vv. 1 Chronicles 2:25 and 1 Chronicles 2:34) have been joined here, probably from material preserved by this clan, descendants of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron. They lived in the Negeb, on Judah’s southern frontier, in David’s day (1 Samuel 27:10). If this record of 23 generations is complete, Elishama may have been a contemporary of David, and the Chronicler would be drawing on ancient records from the early monarchy.
