Structure

The whole chapter belongs to an arrangement comprising 1 Chronicles 2:3–8:40 with the king-producing tribes of Judah (David; 2:3–4:43) and Benjamin (Saul; 8:1–40) bracketing the series of lists as the priestly tribe of Levi (6:1–81) anchors the center, in the following order:Шаблон:Sfn

A David’s royal tribe of Judah (2:3–4:43)
B Northern tribes east of Jordan (5:1–26)
X The priestly tribe of Levi (6:1–81)
B' Northern tribes west of Jordan (7:1–40)
A' Saul’s royal tribe of Benjamin (8:1–40)Шаблон:Sfn

Another concentric arrangement focuses on David's royal tribe of Judah (2:3–4:23), centering on the family of Hezron, Judah's grandson, through his three sons: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai (Caleb),[1] as follows:Шаблон:Sfn

A Descendants of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah (2:3–8)
B Descendants of Ram up to David (2:9–17)
C Descendants of Caleb (2:18–24)
D Descendants of Jerahmeel (2:25–33)
D' Descendants of Jerahmeel (2:34–41)
C' Descendants of Caleb (2:42–55)
B' Descendants of Ram following David [David’s descendants] (3:1–24)
A' Descendants of Shelah, Judah s only surviving son (4:21–23)Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Anchor Descendants of Judah (4:1–8)

This section, continued in verses 11–23, consists of 'many small, seemingly unrelated pieces' with little textual clarity, which potentially could be a valuable historical source, although it is difficult to interpret. These lists partly refer back to chapter 2.Шаблон:Sfn A number of prominent women are listed here (as well as in the latter parts):Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 2

And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath; and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites.[2]

Шаблон:AnchorPrayer of Jabez (4:9–10)

Шаблон:See also These two verses form a unique passage highlighting the Chronicler's respect for wealth and the effectiveness of prayer. It shows one example of the Chronicler's frequent use of meaningful names: "Jabez" (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Strong-number) was given that name because his mother bore him with sorrow (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Strong-number, meaning "in pain"; verse 9), while he himself prays that no sorrow' (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Strong-number; verse 10) would fall upon him.Шаблон:Sfn[5]

Шаблон:AnchorMore descendants of Judah (4:11–23)

Together with verses 1–8, this section partly refers back to chapter 2.Шаблон:Sfn Some prominent women are listed here (other than in the previous parts):Шаблон:Sfn

  • Bithiah: "daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married" (verse 18)
  • Miriam, a daughter (verse 17)
  • Mered's unnamed Judahite wife (or the name is "Jehudijah" according to KJV and NKJV; verse 18)
  • The wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham (verse 19)Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:AnchorDescendants of Simeon (4:24–43)

This section focuses on the tribe of Simeon, which had constant close ties with Judah (such as in Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse; Шаблон:Bibleverse) and historically was quickly engulfed by the descendants of Judah.Шаблон:Sfn In contrast to the previous parts in the same chapter, it has an obvious structure: the genealogy (verses 24–27; drawn from Шаблон:Bibleverse and Шаблон:Bibleverse) is followed by the lists of the tribe's settlement territories (verses 28–33, drawn from Шаблон:Bibleverse), the leaders (verses 34–38) and two events in their history, when the tribe pushed out the Meunites and Amalekites to expand the territories for their flocks (verses 39–43).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The tribe's warlike attitude correlates to the characterization in Шаблон:Bibleverse, Шаблон:Bibleverse-nb, and Шаблон:Bibleverse.Шаблон:Sfn

Verse 31

Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and at Shaaraim. These were their cities until the reign of David.[6]
  • "Hazar Susim": is written as "Hazar Susah" in Шаблон:Bibleverse.[7]
  • "Until the reign of David": or "until David became king", an emphasis by the Chronicler that the engulfing of the tribe of Simeon by Judah happened during David's reign (if not before).Шаблон:Sfn
