1 note on this verseThis site's exposition
prince of the children of Judah
on 1 Chronicles 2:10-17
Ram's line runs through Amminadab and Nahshon, prince of Judah in the wilderness camp, to Boaz and Jesse and David, the same succession Ruth 4:19-22 gives and Matthew 1:3-6 carries into the genealogy of Christ. David is numbered seventh of Jesse's sons here, while 1 Samuel 17:12 counts eight; the readings, that one brother died without issue, or that the Chronicler names only the seven whose lines mattered to his purpose, are held without a verdict. Zeruiah and Abigail appear as David's sisters, and Zeruiah's sons Abishai, Joab and Asahel become his commanders, while Abigail's son Amasa, born to an Ishmeelite father, later commands Absalom's army against his own kinsmen.

David the seventh This is written with the plene spelling, with a “yud,” because of David’s honor, and now he found the pearl; therefore, he did not count the eighth [son], Elijah.
