the firstborn of Hezron
on 1 Chronicles 2:25-41
Jerahmeel's branch runs in bare names, and the notice that a son died without children marks a line that goes no further. It ends in Sheshan, and Sheshan had no sons, but only daughters. Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his servant Jarha, an Egyptian, and she bore Attai.
This site's exposition
The sons of Ram the firstborn
This Ram is Jerahmeel's firstborn, bearing the same name as his uncle Ram of verse 9, the ancestor of David. The branch stops with his three sons. The rest of Jerahmeel's list follows Onam.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the sons of Ram the firstborn of Jerahmeel,.... By his first wife: were Maaz, and Jamin, and Eker; of whom no other notice is taken; perhaps they left no children.
