And Ahaz - This is added by our translators from 1Ch 8:35, but such liberties should only be taken in a note; for although the words are now sufficiently distinguished from the text by being printed in Italics, yet it is too much to expect that every editor of a Bible will attend to such distinctions, and in process of time the words will be found incorporated with the text. 1Ch 9:35, and the following verses, are a repetition of what we find in 1Ch 8:29-38 (note), where see the notes.

on 1 Chronicles 9:35-44

Saul's line repeats here from 1 Chronicles 8:29 to 38. Barnes reads the doubling as the seam that joins the genealogies to the history, which opens with Saul's death in chapter 10. The line runs past Jonathan through Merib-baal, called Mephibosheth in Samuel, and Micah down to Azel's six sons.

Let that judgment never be forgotten, but ever be remembered, for warning to posterity to take heed of those sins that brought it upon them. Whenever we speak of any calamity that has befallen us, it is good to add this, "it was for my transgression," that God may be justified and clear when he judges.
