Commentary

2 notes on this verse
And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath,.... Reaiah is the same with Haroeh, 1Ch 2:52 the names are of the same signification: and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites; who inhabited Zoreah, as the Targum, at least part of it; see 1Ch 2:53.

This site's exposition

The sons of Judah; Pharez, Hezron

on 1 Chronicles 4:1-4

This is a second register of Judah's line through Hur, distinct from the roster already given in chapter two, and the commentators read it as drawn from a separate public document carrying details the first list omitted. The line closes at Ephratah, the ancestor of Bethlehem, keeping David's town in view before the chapter turns to Jabez.
