Adam, Seth, Enosh
on 1 Chronicles 1:1-4
No book of Scripture opens more abruptly: one word, Adam, and the whole primeval history compressed into ten names from Adam to Noah. The list is Gen 5's chosen line with Cain's line silently omitted, which announces the Chronicler's method: he traces the thread that leads to David.
This site's exposition
Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech
Jude 14 calls Enoch the seventh from Adam. Genesis 5:24 records that he walked with God and that God took him. This Lamech is Seth's descendant and Noah's father, a different man from Cain's Lamech in Genesis 4:18 to 24.
