Chelub the brother of Shuhah
on 1 Chronicles 4:11-20
This unit gathers several branches of Judah's families, among them the people of Ge-harashim, which was given this name because its people were craftsmen. Verse 18 records a marriage told nowhere else, of an Egyptian princess in Judah's genealogy: These were the children of Pharaoh’s daughter Bithiah.
This site's exposition
The sons of Shimon
Shimon and Ishi head two more short lists with no stated link to the families before them. Amnon here shares the name of David's firstborn in 3:1. Ben-zoheth means son of Zoheth.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And the sons of Shimon,.... Perhaps another son of Mered by his last wife, or the same with Shammai, 1Ch 4:17 were Amnon, and Rinnah, Benhanan, and Tilon; nowhere else mentioned: and the sons of Ishi: who it may be was the brother of Shimon or Tilon: were Zoheth, and Benzoheth; of whom we know no more than their names.
