1 Chronicles 2:43

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records a genealogical list for post-exilic Judah, documenting the descendants of Caleb’s brother Jerahmeel’s line at this point in the historical account.

The words — חֶבְר֑וֹן (chev.Ron) denotes Hebron, and קֹ֥רַח (Ko.rach) identifies Korah, both appearing as direct offspring in the patriarchal record.

The thread — This lineage connects to 1 Chronicles 2:42, which introduces Hebron as the second son of Mareshah, and to 1 Chronicles 2:44, which extends the line through Shema and Rekem.

Why it lands — The text demands recognition of tribal continuity and documented ancestry rather than theological commentary, establishing the structural foundation for later biblical narratives.
