The sons of Micah
on 1 Chronicles 8:35-40
Micah's line runs through Jehoaddah to Azel, and Azel's six sons are named. The record keeps counting fathers and sons long after the kingdom left Saul's family. The chapter closes on the sons of Ulam, who were mighty men of valor, archers, with 150 sons and grandsons in all.
This site's exposition
Ahaz was the father of Jehoaddah
1 Chronicles 9:42 gives Jarah where this verse has Jehoaddah. Alemeth and Azmaveth name places of Benjamin: men of Azmaveth came home from exile (Ezra 2:24), and Alemeth was a priests' town (1 Chronicles 6:60). Saul's line runs on after his death.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
And Ahaz begat Jehoadah,.... Called Jarah, 1Ch 9:42. and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; the same account is given, 1Ch 9:42.
They are Jasher, Jeshurun--just ones, and the memory of the just is blessed. Many of these we have reason to fear, came short of everlasting honour (for even the wicked kings of Judah come into the genealogy), yet the perpetuating of their names here was a figure of the writing of the names of all God's spiritual Israel in the Lamb's book of life.
