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.

1 Chronicles 2:34 In-Context

32 And the sons of Jada, the brother of Shammai, were Jether, and Jonathan; but Jether died without sons;
33 and Jonathan begat Peleth, and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel.
34 And Sheshan had not sons, but daughters, and a servant of Egypt (and an Egyptian servant), Jarha by name;
35 and he gave his daughter to wife to Jarha, which childed Attai to him. (and Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha for a wife, and she bare him Attai.)
36 And Attai begat Nathan, and Nathan begat Zabad.
