This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ch 4:2, with the descendants of Shobal. As to Reaiah the son of Shobal, see 1Ch 2:52. He begat Jahath, a name often occurring in Levite families, cf. 1Ch 6:5, 1Ch 6:28; 1Ch 23:10., 1Ch 24:22, 2Ch 34:12; but of the descendant of David who bore this name nothing further is known. His sons Ahumai and Lahad founded the families of the Zorathites, i.e., the inhabitants of Zora, who also, according to 1Ch 2:53, were descended from sons of Shobal. Our verse therefore gives more detailed information regarding the lineage of these families.
