1 Chronicles 2:34 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 2:34

Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters
And but one of that sort, whose name was Ahlai, ( 1 Chronicles 2:31 ) the plural being put here for the singular; or, if that is the name of a son, as some think, he died in his father's lifetime, and left no issue; so that there only remained daughters, and it seems but one by the next verse:

and Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha;
one born in his house, and brought up by him, and a proselyte, such an one as Eliezer in Abraham's family.
