1 Chronicles 2:29

Study note

Setting — The chronicler records a specific marital and reproductive link within the Judahite family line immediately after listing Abishur’s paternal ancestry and before detailing his brother Nadab’s descendants.

The words — אֵ֥שֶׁת ('E.shet) = wife and וַ/תֵּ֣לֶד (va./Te.led) = she bore anchor the verse’s action, establishing that Abishur’s lineage continues through his wife Abihail’s childbirth.

The thread — This genealogical formula recurs throughout 1 Chronicles 1–9, Ezra 2, and Nehemiah 7, where tribal and priestly lines are preserved by naming spouses and offspring.

Why it lands — It requires the reader to verify ancestral connections through recorded marriages and births, treating maternal names and childbearing as essential data for covenant identity.
