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 The sons of Jada, Shammai's brother: Jether and Jonathan; and Jether died childless.

33 The sons of Jonathan: Peleth and Zaza. These were the descendants of Jerahmeel.

34 Now Sheshan had no sons, only daughters; but Sheshan had an Egyptian slave, whose name was Jarha.

35 So Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his slave Jarha; and she bore him Attai.

36 Attai became the father of Nathan, and Nathan of Zabad.
