Commentary

3 notes on this verse
Hadad here and in 1Ch 1:50 is the well-known Syrian name, of which Hadar (margin) is an accidental corruption, consequent on the close resemblance between “d” (daleth) and “r” (resh) in Hebrew, the final letters of the two names.

This site's exposition

The sons of Abraham

on 1 Chronicles 1:28-34

The Chronicler's sorting rule shows itself: Ishmael's twelve princes and Keturah's sons are listed first and finished, and then the line the book cares about is taken up last, and Abraham begat Isaac. The non-elect branches are honored with their names and dismissed from the story in the same breath, the pattern Genesis itself set with its toledoth and Esau's list before Jacob's. Nothing is said against the other sons; they are simply not where this book is going.
