Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Chronicles 2:34

Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters. — Comp. 1 Chronicles 2:31 above, “And the children of Sheshan; Ahlai.” Those who insist upon a literal understanding of these lists reconcile the two statements by making Ahlai a daughter; others suppose that the chronicler has preserved for us in the present section fragments of at least two independent accounts.
