Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd the sons of Ethan; Azariah. Including his posterity, see Gen 46:23, the posterity of the other three sons of Zerah are not mentioned, either because the writer could not find the genealogy of them, as Kimchi; or rather, as he thinks, he cuts short the genealogy of Zerah, because the kingdom did not proceed from him, and returns to the genealogy of Hezron, from whence it did, or perhaps they had no children.
This site's exposition
the sons of Ethan; Azariah
on 1 Chronicles 2:8-9
Ethan's son Azariah closes out Zerah's short branch, and the record does not carry it further, since the kingdom did not come from that line. Hezron's three sons, Jerahmeel, Ram and Chelubai, are named next, and each opens a branch the chapter traces in turn: Jerahmeel's at length, Ram's to David, and Chelubai's, better known as Caleb, twice over.
