- 1 Chronicles 2:31
The son of Appaim: Ishi. The son of Ishi: Sheshan. The son of Sheshan: Ahlai.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:311 voice
And the sons of Appaim; Ishi. And the sons of Ishi: Sheshan,.... Though they had each of them but one son, yet the plural number is used, their posterity being included, as in 1Ch 2:8 and so in the next clause: and the children of Sheshan; Ahlai; who, from 1Ch 2:34 appears to be a daughter.

- 1 Chronicles 2:34
Sheshan had no sons, but only daughters; but he did have an Egyptian servant named Jarha.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:342 voices
Sheshan had no sons, but daughters--either he had no sons alive at his death, or his family consisted wholly of daughters, of whom Ahlai (1Ch 2:31) was one, she being specially mentioned on account of the domestic relations about to be noted.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters,.... And but one of that sort, whose name was Ahlai, 1Ch 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.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- 1 Chronicles 2:35
Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his servant Jarha, and she bore to him Attai.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:352 voices
Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife--The adoption and marriage of a foreign slave in the family where he is serving, is far from being a rare or extraordinary occurrence in Eastern countries. It is thought, however, by some to have been a connection not sanctioned by the law of Moses [MICHAELIS].

And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife,....

- 1 Chronicles 11:41
Uriah the Hittite, Zabad son of Ahlai,
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:412 voices
Uriah - The last of that catalogue in 2 Sam. xxiii, 39. But here some others are added to the number, because though they were not of the thirty, yet they were men of great valour and renown amongst David's commanders.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
The number of the names at 1Ch 11:26-41 (exclusive of Asahel and Uriah, who were dead) is thirty, and at 1Ch 11:41-47 is sixteen--making together forty-eight (see on 1Ch 27:1-34).
