Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a genealogical register for a post-exilic audience, documenting the sons born to David in Jerusalem.
The words — The text records יִבְחָר (yivChar, Ibhar) and אֱלִישָמָע (‘eliShaMa, Elishama), proper names appended to the royal family list.
The thread — These names appear in the parallel Davidic genealogies of 2 Samuel 5:15 and 1 Chronicles 14:5, maintaining a consistent scribal record.
Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to acknowledge the unbroken documentation of the Davidic line 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.
