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.
