Study note
Setting — The chronicler records a list of male descendants within a tribal genealogy, positioned between the sons of Zophah in 1 Chronicles 7:36 and the sons of Jether in 1 Chronicles 7:38.
The words — The text enumerates six proper names: Bezer [H1221], Hod [H1936], Shamma [H8037], Shilshah [H8030], Ithran [H3506], and Beera [H878]. These Hebrew terms function as identifiers for specific individuals in the recorded lineage.
The thread — This entry continues the structural pattern of 1 Chronicles 7:36 and 1 Chronicles 7:38, where tribal branches are preserved through sequential naming rather than narrative action.
Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to acknowledge the chronicler’s method of maintaining tribal continuity through unadorned enumeration. It directs attention to the preservation of lineage data without supplying interpretive commentary.
