Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Chronicles 1:34

Abraham begat Isaac. — From Genesis 25:19.

Esau and Israel. — Esau is named first, not as the elder, but because the tribes of Esau are to be first enumerated. (Comp. Note above on 1 Chronicles 1:28.)

Israel. — The more honourable appellation (Genesis 32:28) almost wholly supplanted Jacob as the name of the chosen people, except in poetry and prophecy. Some moderns have seen in such double names as Jacob-Israel, Esau-Edom, a trace of an ancient fusion or amalgamation of distinct races.
