1 Chronicles 2:9-17

1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 2:9 Verses 1 Chronicles 2:10 are drawn mainly from Ruth 4:19. Here, only the line of David (1 Chronicles 2:15) came from Ram, and the rest of Judah from Hezron’s other sons, Jerahmeel and Caleb (Chelubai is a variant of “Caleb”). Although 1 Samuel 16:10 indicates that David was the eighth son of Jesse, the Chronicler presents him as the seventh, perhaps to indicate his favored place in God’s purpose.
