Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a genealogical record of the Jerahmeelite line, transitioning from Sheshan to Jada and his brother Shammai.
The words — וַ/יָּ֥מָת (va/i.Ya.mot) translates literally as "and/ he died [H4191]," while אֲחִ֣י ('a.Chi) means "[the] brother of [H251]."
The thread — This genealogical structure mirrors 1 Chronicles 2:31, which lists Ishi, Sheshan, and Ahlai, and contrasts with 1 Chronicles 2:33, which explicitly names Jonathan’s sons Peleth and Zaza.
Why it lands — The text records the factual extinction of Jether’s branch and the preservation of Jonathan’s, requiring the reader to track lineage continuity and branch termination in the ancestral record.
