1 Chronicles 4:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:24

The sons of Simeon
The account of whom, next to the tribe of Judah, is given before Reuben, because its inheritance lay in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 19:1 ) his sons were Nemuel, the same with Jemuel, ( Genesis 46:10 )

and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul;
who, in the place referred to, is said to be the son of a Canaanitish woman; and Jarib and Zerah are the same with Jachin and Zohar there: and Obed is here omitted, it may be because he died without issue; see ( Numbers 26:12 Numbers 26:13 ) .
