Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records a priestly succession, continuing the list from 1 Chronicles 6:6 and preparing the reader for 1 Chronicles 6:8.
The words — הוֹלִיד (ho.Lid) = "he fathered" appears twice, marking each generational link as a direct paternal action.
The thread — The verse extends the documented lineage pattern of 1 Chronicles 6:6 and 1 Chronicles 6:8, explicitly connecting Meraioth to Amariah and Amariah to Ahitub.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to track the precise transmission of the priestly line, treating each named individual as a verified link in the recorded descent.
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.
