a leader of the descendants of Judah
on 1 Chronicles 2:10-17
Ram's line runs through Amminadab and Nahshon, a leader of Judah, to Boaz, Jesse, and David. Ruth 4:19 to 22 gives the same succession, and Matthew 1:3 to 6 carries it into the genealogy of Christ. Here David is Jesse's seventh son, while 1 Samuel 17:12 counts eight sons.
This site's exposition
Nethanel fourth, Raddai fifth
Nethanel and Raddai appear only here. 1 Samuel 16:10 says seven of Jesse's sons passed before Samuel, and 1 Samuel 17:12 gives Jesse eight sons. The Chronicler lists seven.

David the seventh This is written with the plene spelling, with a “yud,” because of David’s honor, and now he found the pearl; therefore, he did not count the eighth [son], Elijah.
