6 5 D2 D3 D4 The sons of Seir [Note that these are original inhabitants of Seir, and not necessarily related to Esau or Abraham, though presumably there was subjugation by and intermarriage with Esau's descendants after a period of time (cf. Gen. 32:3, see Keil and Delitzsch, Commentary on the Old Testament i, 324; iii, 54).] 1:38-42 The kings of Edom (before kings in Israel) [Note: That these are descendants of Esau is assumed by commentators, but not specifically stated by ancestral linkage in the text. Elsewhere, Edom and Esau are said to be identical, eg. Gen. 25:30; 36:1,8,19,43.] 1:43-50 The chiefs of Edom [Note that these are specifically stated to be descendants of Esau in Gen. 36:40-43.] 1:51-54 B3 Jacob to David: The Sons of Israel, Judah, and Hezron 2 C1 The sons of Israel 2:1-2 D1 Reuben 2:1 D2 Simeon D3 Levi D4 Judah D5 Issachar D6 Zebulun D7 Dan 2:2 D8 Joseph D9 Benjamin D10 Naphtali D11 Gad D12 Asher C2 The sons of Judah 2:3-9 D1 Those born to him by Bath-Shua the Canaanitess 2:3 E1 Er: Wicked in God's sight; by Him put to death 2:3 E2 Onan 2:3 E3 Shelah 2:3

9 8 D3 D4 The son of Segub ben Hezron 1 ben Perez ben Judah (by Hezron's later marriage to the daughter of Machir, also sister to Gilead 2 ben Machir) 2:21,22 E1 Jair (23 cities in Gilead) 2:22 The son of Ashur ben Hezron ben Perez ben Judah (born by Abijah after Hezron's death) 2:24 * (See also 2:24 above) E1 Tekoa 2:24 D5 The sons of Jerahmeel ben Hezron ben Perez ben Judah 2:25-41 E1 Ram 2:25, 27 F1 Maaz 2:27 F2 Jamin F3 Eker E2 Bunah E3 Oren E4 Ozem E5 Ahijah E6 Onam (by Atarah) 2:26,28 F1 Shammai 2:28 G1 Nadab 2:28,30 H1 Seled H2 Appaim, father of 2:30 I1 Ishi, father of 2:31 I2 Sheshan, ( * See 2:34 below) father of 2:31 J1 Ahlai 3 2:31* 1 For reasons unknown to us, Hezron at age 60 married the daughter of Machir, presumably to raise up posterity for Machir, who may have had no sons (2:21). These descendants were then counted as the sons of Machir (2:23), but included here in the list of the biological sons of Hezron. 2 The reference to Gilead is either that (1) Machir was the principal inhabitant/warrior of the region of Gilead, and in need of male heirs to maintain control the region; or preferably, (2) after the arrangement with Hezron, Machir had a son whom he named Gilead, and the region was named after his unexpected male heir late in life. 3 Ahlai is either (1) daughter of Sheshan, cf. 2:34, or (2) the Hebrew name given to the slave, Jarha, cf. 2:34,35, or (3) another spelling of Attai, 2:35, actually Sheshan's grandson [JFB II, 456].)
