Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The chronicler compiles a genealogical record for the tribe of Judah, inserting the Simeonite and Ishite lines between the account of Hodiah’s wife in 1 Chronicles 4:19 and the lineage of Shelah in 1 Chronicles 4:21.

The words — בְּנֵי (benei) = sons/descendants; שִׁמְעוֹן (Shimon) = Simeon.

The thread — The list continues the genealogical sequence in 1 Chronicles 4, linking directly to the preceding record of Hodiah’s wife in 1 Chronicles 4:19 and the following line of Shelah son of Judah in 1 Chronicles 4:21.

Why it lands — The text names specific individuals to document the preservation of distinct family lines, requiring the reader to treat each entry as a factual component of the recorded ancestral structure.

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.
