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
Obed was the father of Jehu
Jehu and Azariah are common names, borne by the king of Israel in 2 Kings 9 and the king of Judah in 2 Kings 15:1. The men named here belong to Sheshan's line. The chain continues.
