1 Chronicles 14:5

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler continues a genealogical roll call of the sons born to David in Jerusalem, following the names listed in the preceding verse.

The words — The Hebrew יִבְחָר (yivḥār) and אֱלִישׁוּעַ (ʾĕlîšûaʿ) appear here strictly as proper names within a list, carrying no embedded verb or descriptive action.

The thread — These three names form part of the same Davidic offspring record found in 2 Samuel 5:15 and 1 Chronicles 3:6.

Why it lands — The verse functions as a historical ledger, requiring the reader to track the documented continuity of the royal lineage without supplying narrative or theological commentary.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
