英文原文
We have now come to what was principally intended, the register of the children of Israel, that distinguished people, that were to "dwell alone, and not be reckoned among the nations." Here we have, I. The names of the twelve sons of Israel, 1Ch 2:1,2. II. An account of the tribe of Judah, which has the precedency, not so much for the sake of David as for the sake of the Son of David, our Lord, who sprang out of Judah, Heb 7:14. 1. The first descendants from Judah, down to Jesse, 1Ch 2:3-12. 2. The children of Jesse, 1Ch 2:13-17. 3. The posterity of Hezron, not only through Ram, from whom David came, but through Caleb (1Ch 2:18-20), Segub (1Ch 2:21-24), Jerahmeel (1Ch 2:25-33, and so to 1Ch 2:34-41), and more by Caleb (1Ch 2:42-49), with the family of Caleb the son of Hur, 1Ch 2:50-55. The best exposition we can have of this and the following chapters, and which will give the clearest view of them, is found in those genealogical tables which were published with some of the first impressions of the last English Bible about 100 years ago, and continued for some time; and it is a pity but they were revived in some of our later editions, for they are of great use to those who diligently search the scriptures. They are said to be drawn up by that great master in scripture-learning, Mr. Hugh Broughton. We meet with them sometimes in old Bibles.

家譜（主前1751年）
¹ 以色列的兒子是流便、西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、西布倫； ² 但、約瑟、便雅憫、拿弗他利、迦得、亞設。 ³ 猶大的兒子是珥、俄南、示拉；這三人是迦南人書亞的女兒所生。猶大的長子珥在耶和華眼中看為惡，耶和華就使他死了。 ⁴ 猶大的兒婦他瑪給猶大生了法勒斯和謝拉。猶大共有五個兒子。 ⁵ 法勒斯的兒子是希斯倫、哈母勒。 ⁶ 謝拉的兒子是心利、以探、希幔、甲各、大拉，共五人。 ⁷ 迦米的兒子是亞干，就是使以色列遭災的人，因他在當滅的物上犯了罪。 ⁸ 以探的兒子是亞撒利雅。 ⁹ 希斯倫所生的兒子是耶拉篾、蘭、基路拜。 ¹⁰ 蘭生亞米拿達；亞米拿達生拿順；拿順作猶大支派的族長。 ¹¹ 拿順生撒門；撒門生波阿斯； ¹² 波阿斯生俄備得；俄備得生耶西； ¹³ 耶西生長子以利押、次子亞比拿達、三子示瑪； ¹⁴ 四子拿坦業、五子拉德； ¹⁵ 六子阿鮮、七子大衛。 ¹⁶ 他們的姐妹是洗魯雅和亞比該。洗魯雅的兒子是亞比篩、約押、亞撒黑，共三人。 ¹⁷ 亞比該生亞瑪撒；亞瑪撒的父親是以實瑪利人益帖。
此處我們讀到：一、雅各的家族。他的十二個兒子在此被記下—這個榮耀的數目，從聖經第一卷到最後一卷幾乎全書都在讚揚。我們每到一處，都遇見從這十二位列祖而出的十二個支派。他們其中有幾位的個人品格並不太好（頭四個都有相當的瑕疵），然而約卻被確立在他們的後裔身上；因為這是出於恩典—白白賜的恩典—纔說：「雅各是我所愛的」—不是出於行為，免得有人自誇。
二、猶大的家族。猶大支派在眾支派中得讚最多、人數最多、最受尊榮，所以它的家譜也是其中最早、最長的一個。在這棵榮耀之樹—基督便是它的頂枝—的最早枝條的記述中，我們遇見：1. 一些很壞的人。這裏有猶大的長子珥，他「在耶和華眼中看為惡」，在年幼之時便被神的報應擊殺：「耶和華就使他死了」（代上二3）。他的弟弟俄南也好不到哪裏去，下場也一樣。這裏有他瑪，她的公公猶大竟與她犯了亂倫（代上二4）。這裏有亞干—被稱為「亞割」（即「麻煩」之意）—因取了當滅之物而使以色列遭災（代上二7）。注意，最好、最尊榮的家族也可能有屬於其中的瑕疵。2. 一些極有智慧和良善的人，如希幔和以探、甲各和大拉；他們也許不是謝拉的親兒子，而是他的後裔，之所以被提名，是因為他們是父家的榮耀；因為聖靈要高舉所羅門的智慧之時，便宣告他比這四個人更有智慧—他們雖是瑪曷的兒子，卻被稱為以斯拉人（從謝拉而出的，王上四31）。四個兄弟都因智慧和恩典而傑出，實在罕見。3. 一些極其偉大的人，如拿順—當以色列在曠野編營之時，他是猶大支派的族長，在那榮耀的行軍中領先鋒；又如撒們（或撒門）—當他們進入迦南之時，他佔了那榮耀的位置（代上二10–11）。
三、耶西的家族—為著大衛和大衛的子孫的緣故，它的記述被特別保存下來；大衛的子孫就是「從耶西的不必發的一條」（賽十一1）。由此可知大衛是第七個兒子，又可知他三位大元帥—約押、亞比篩、亞撒黑—是他一個姐妹的兒子，亞瑪撒則是另一個姐妹的兒子。他們四人中有三人雖是勇士所懼怕的，卻都被殺下到坑中。

Genealogies (1751 BC)
¹ These are the sons of Israel; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun,
² Dan, Joseph, and Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
³ The sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah: which three were born unto him of the daughter of Shua the Canaanitess. And Er, the firstborn of Judah, was evil in the sight of the LORD; and he slew him.
⁴ And Tamar his daughter in law bare him Pharez and Zerah. All the sons of Judah were five.
⁵ The sons of Pharez; Hezron, and Hamul.
⁶ And the sons of Zerah; Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all.
⁷ And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed.
⁸ And the sons of Ethan; Azariah.
⁹ The sons also of Hezron, that were born unto him; Jerahmeel, and Ram, and Chelubai.
¹⁰ And Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon, prince of the children of Judah;
¹¹ And Nahshon begat Salma, and Salma begat Boaz,
¹² And Boaz begat Obed, and Obed begat Jesse,
¹³ And Jesse begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third,
¹⁴ Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,
¹⁵ Ozem the sixth, David the seventh:
¹⁶ Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three.
¹⁷ And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.
Here is, I. The family of Jacob. His twelve sons are here named, that illustrious number so often celebrated almost throughout the whole Bible, from the first to the last book of it. At every turn we meet with the twelve tribes that descended from these twelve patriarchs. The personal character of several of them was none of the best (the first four were much blemished), and yet the covenant was entailed on their seed; for it was of grace, free grace, that it was said, Jacob have I loved—not of works, lest any man should boast.
II. The family of Judah. That tribe was most praised, most increased, and most dignified, of any of the tribes, and therefore the genealogy of it is the first and largest of them all. In the account here given of the first branches of that illustrious tree, of which Christ was to be the top branch, we meet, 1. With some that were very bad. Here is Er, Judah's eldest son, that was evil in the sight of the Lord, and was cut off, in the beginning of his days, by a stroke of divine vengeance: The Lord slew him, 1Ch 2:3. His next brother, Onan, was no better, and fared no better. Here is Tamar, with whom Judah, her father-in-law, committed incest, 1Ch 2:4. And here is Achan, called Achar—a troubler, that troubled Israel by taking of the accursed thing, 1Ch 2:7. Note, The best and most honourable families may have those belonging to them that are blemishes. 2. With some that were very wise and good, as Heman and Ethan, Calcol and Dara, who were not perhaps the immediate sons of Zerah, but descendants from him, and are named because they were the glory of their father's house; for, when the Holy Ghost would magnify the wisdom of Solomon, he declares him wiser than these four men, who, though the sons of Mahol, are called Ezrahites, from Zerah, 1Ki 4:31. That four brothers should be eminent for wisdom and grace was a rare thing. 3. With some that were very great, as Nahshon, who was prince of the tribe of Judah when the camp of Israel was formed in the wilderness, and so led the van in that glorious march, and Salman, or Salmon, who was in that post of honour when they entered into Canaan, 1Ch 2:10,11.
III. The family of Jesse, of which a particularly account is kept for the sake of David, and the Son of David, who is a rod out of the stem of Jesse, Isa 11:1. Hence it appears that David was a seventh son, and that his three great commanders, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, were the sons of one of his sisters, and Amasa of another. Three of the four went down slain to the pit, though they were the terror of the mighty.

家譜（主前 1450 年）
¹⁸ 希斯崙的兒子迦勒，從妻子亞蘇雅和耶略生了兒子；她的兒子是耶設、朔罷、亞頓。 ¹⁹ 亞蘇雅死了，迦勒又娶了以法他，生了戶珥。 ²⁰ 戶珥生烏利；烏利生比撒列。 ²¹ 後來希斯崙正六十歲，娶了基列之父瑪吉的女兒，與她同房；她生了西割。 ²² 西割生睚珥；睚珥在基列地有二十三座城。 ²³ 後來基述人和亞蘭人從他們手中奪了睚珥的城鎮，並基納和其附屬的村莊，共六十座城。這些都是基列之父瑪吉的子孫的。 ²⁴ 希斯崙在迦勒以法他（即伯利恆）死後，他的妻子亞比雅給他生了亞施戶；亞施戶就是提哥亞的父親。 ²⁵ 希斯崙的長子耶拉篾的兒子是：長子蘭、布拿、俄連、阿鮮、亞希雅。 ²⁶ 耶拉篾還有一個妻子，名叫亞他拉；她就是阿南的母親。 ²⁷ 耶拉篾的長子蘭的兒子是瑪斯、雅憫、以結。 ²⁸ 阿南的兒子是示買、雅大。示買的兒子是拿答、亞比述。 ²⁹ 亞比述的妻子名叫亞比亥；她給他生了亞辦、摩利。 ³⁰ 拿答的兒子是西列、亞湃因；西列死了，沒有兒子。 ³¹ 亞湃因的兒子是以示；以示的兒子是示珊；示珊的兒女是亞萊。 ³² 雅大是示買的兄弟，他的兒子是益帖、約拿單；益帖死了，沒有兒子。 ³³ 約拿單的兒子是毗列、薩薩。這都是耶拉篾的子孫。 ³⁴ 示珊沒有兒子，只有女兒。示珊有一個僕人是埃及人，名叫耶哈。 ³⁵ 示珊將女兒給了僕人耶哈為妻；她給他生了亞太。 ³⁶ 亞太生拿單；拿單生撒拔； ³⁷ 撒拔生以弗拉；以弗拉生俄備得； ³⁸ 俄備得生耶戶；耶戶生亞撒利雅； ³⁹ 亞撒利雅生希利斯；希利斯生以利亞薩； ⁴⁰ 以利亞薩生西賽；西賽生沙龍； ⁴¹ 沙龍生耶加米雅；耶加米雅生以利沙瑪。 ⁴² 耶拉篾的兄弟迦勒的兒子是：長子米沙，就是西弗的父親；馬利沙的兒子是希伯崙的父親。 ⁴³ 希伯崙的兒子是可拉、他普亞、利肯、示瑪。 ⁴⁴ 示瑪生拉含，就是約哥庵的父親；利肯生示買。 ⁴⁵ 示買的兒子是瑪雲；瑪雲就是伯夙的父親。 ⁴⁶ 迦勒的妾以法生了哈蘭、摩撒、迦泄；哈蘭生了迦泄。 ⁴⁷ 雅代的兒子是利健、約坦、基珊、毗列、以法、沙亞弗。 ⁴⁸ 迦勒的妾瑪迦生了示別、提哈拿； ⁴⁹ 她又生了麥瑪拿的父親沙亞弗、瑪革比拿的父親示瓦、基比的父親；迦勒的女兒是押撒。 ⁵⁰ 這都是迦勒的兒子，就是以法她長子戶珥的兒子：朔巴，就是基列耶琳的父親； ⁵¹ 薩瑪，就是伯利恆的父親；哈列弗，就是伯迦得的父親。 ⁵² 基列耶琳的父親朔巴的兒子是哈羅以，和瑪拿半族人。 ⁵³ 基列耶琳的諸族是以帖人、布特人、舒瑪人、密來人；從這些人中又出了撒列人和以實陶人。 ⁵⁴ 薩瑪的兒子是伯利恆人、尼陀法人、亞他綠、約押的家、瑪拿半族人、瑣利人。 ⁵⁵ 住在雅比斯的文士家族是提拉人、示米亞人、蘇甲人。這都是基尼人，就是利甲家之祖哈抹的後代。
前一段所記的人，大多數是我們在其他經文中讀過的，而且大多數是我們讀過很多的；但這一段所提到的人，很少在別處再被提及。看來猶大支派比任何其他支派都更加詳盡地保存了自己的家譜，這其中我們必須承認有神特殊的護理，為要澄清基督的家譜。1. 此處我們看見比撒列，他是建造會幕時的工頭（出三十一2）。2. 希斯崙（他是法勒斯的兒子，代上二5）是這一切後裔之父──他的兒子迦勒和耶拉篾都十分多產，他本人也是如此，甚至到了老年也是如此，因為他死時將妻子遺下懷有身孕（代上二24）。這位希斯崙就是與雅各一同下到埃及的那七十人之一（創四十六12）。在那裏，他的家族像其他受壓迫的家族一樣繁衍。我們不能不想像他是在以色列人於埃及為奴之時死的；然而經上卻說他死在迦勒以法他（即伯利恆），在迦南地（代上二24）。也許，雖然百姓的主體仍留在埃及，但其中一些比別人更為活躍的人，至少在他們的奴役達到極點之前，曾經造訪過迦南，並在那裏取得了立足之地，雖然後來又失去了。此處所記睚珥的功業（代上二22、23），我們在民三十二41已讀過；據推測那是迦南被征服之後很久的事。猶太人說，希斯崙在六十歲時娶了第三個妻子（代上二21），後來又娶了一個（代上二24），因為他極其渴望法勒斯家族多有後裔──彌賽亞將要從這一族而出。3. 此處提到一個「死了沒有兒子」的人（代上二30），又有一個（代上二32），還有一個「沒有兒子，只有女兒」（代上二34）。凡在這些方面受苦的人，不要以為自己的遭遇是新的、是獨特的。神的護理以無可爭辯的主權安排這些家族的事，隨他所喜悅的：或賜兒女，或不予賜予，或只賜一性別。他沒有義務討好我們，我們卻有義務順服他的美意。對愛他的人，他必親自成為比十個兒子更好的福分，並在他的家中賜他們一個地方、一個名號，比兒女更好。所以，那些被記為沒有兒女的人，不必嫉妒那些建造起來、人口興旺的家族。神的眼目既為善，我們的眼目豈可為惡呢？4. 此處提到一個人只有一個獨生女兒，將她嫁給了他的一個埃及僕人（代上二34、35）。若這事被記為他的美德，我們必須假定這個埃及人已經歸信了猶太信仰，並且在智慧和德行上極為卓越，否則一個正統的以色列人將女兒嫁給他──尤其是獨生女──便不合宜了。如果埃及人歸信了，僕人行事有功，他們的出身或奴僕身分都不該成為他們升遷的攔阻。這個埃及僕人也許是這樣的人，以至嫁給他的人可以與他同住，如同嫁給本族的一個官長那樣快樂。5. 此處好幾個人的家譜終結的，不是一個人，而是一個地方或地區：一個人被稱為「基列耶琳的父親」（代上二50），另一個人被稱為「伯利恆的父親」（代上二51）──伯利恆後來是大衛的城──因為這些地方在分地之時分給了他們。6. 此處有一些被稱為「文士的家族」（代上二55），就是在自己家族中維持學問、特別是聖經學問的人，並將對神的美好知識教導百姓。在這一切大家族之中，我們很高興找到一些是「文士家族」。但願神的百姓都作先知──願以色列所有的家族都成為文士家族，受教於天國，能從自己的府庫中拿出新舊的東西來！

Genealogies (1450 BC)
¹⁸ And Caleb the son of Hezron begat children of Azubah his wife, and of Jerioth: her sons are these; Jesher, and Shobab, and Ardon.

⁵⁵ And the families of the scribes which dwelt at Jabez; the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and Suchathites. These are the Kenites that came of Hemath, the father of the house of Rechab.
The persons mentioned in the former paragraph are most of them such as we read of, and most of them such as we read much of, in other scriptures; but very few of those to whom this paragraph relates are mentioned any where else. It should seem, the tribe of Judah were more full and exact in their genealogies than any other of the tribes, in which we must acknowledge a special providence, for the clearing of the genealogy of Christ. 1. Here we find Bezaleel, who was head-workman in building the tabernacle, Ex 31:2. 2. Hezron, who was the son of Pharez (1Ch 2:5), was the father of all this progeny, his sons, Caleb and Jerahmeel, being very fruitful, and he himself likewise, even in his old age, for he left his wife pregnant when he died, 1Ch 2:24. This Hezron was one of the seventy that went down with Jacob into Egypt, Ge 46:12. There his family thus increased, as other oppressed families there did. We cannot but suppose that he died during the Israelites' bondage in Egypt; and yet it is here said he died in Caleb-Ephratah (that is, Bethlehem), in the land of Canaan, 1Ch 2:24. Perhaps, though the body of the people continued in Egypt, yet some that were more active than the rest, at least before their bondage came to be extreme, visited Canaan sometimes and got footing there, though afterwards they lost it. The achievements of Jair, here mentioned (1Ch 2:22,23), we had an account of in Nu 32:41; and, it is supposed, they were long after the conquest of Canaan. The Jews say, Hezron married his third wife when he was sixty years old (1Ch 2:21), and another afterwards (1Ch 2:24), because he had a great desire of posterity in the family of Pharez, from whom the Messiah was to descend. 3. Here is mention of one that died without children (1Ch 2:30), and another (1Ch 2:32), and of one that had no sons, but daughters, 1Ch 2:34. Let those that are in any of these ways afflicted not think their case new or singular. Providence orders these affairs of families by an incontestable sovereignty, as pleaseth him, giving children, or withholding them, or giving all of one sex. He is not bound to please us, but we are bound to acquiesce in his good pleasure. To those that love him he will himself be better than ten sons, and give them in his house a place and a name better than of sons and daughters. Let not those therefore that are written childless envy the families that are built up and replenished. Shall our eye be evil because God's is good? 4. Here is mention of one who had an only daughter, and married her to his servant an Egyptian, 1Ch 2:34,35. If it be mentioned to his praise, we must suppose that this Egyptian was proselyted to the Jewish religion and that he was very eminent for wisdom and virtue, otherwise it would not have become a true-born Israelite to match a daughter to him, especially an only daughter. If Egyptians become converts, and servants do worthily, neither their parentage nor their servitude should be a bar to their preferment. Such a one this Egyptian servant might be that she who married him might live as happily with him as if she had married one of the rulers of her tribe. 5. The pedigree of several of these terminates, not in a person, but in a place or country, as one is said to be the father of Kirjath-jearim (1Ch 2:50), another of Bethlehem (1Ch 2:51), which was afterwards David's city, because these places fell to their lot in the division of the land. 6. Here are some that are said to be families of scribes (1Ch 2:55), such as kept up learning in their family, especially scripture-learning, and taught the people the good knowledge of God. Among all these great families we are glad to find some that were families of scribes. Would to God that all the Lord's people were prophets—all the families of Israel families of scribes, well instructed to the kingdom of heaven, and able to bring out of their treasury things new and old!
我們如今來到主要的目的所在—以色列眾子的家譜。以色列人是那特選的子民，「獨居的民，不列在萬民中」。此處我們讀到：一、以色列十二個兒子的名字（代上二1–2）。二、猶大支派的記述；它居首位，與其說是為大衛的緣故，不如說是為大衛的子孫—我們的主—的緣故，因為祂是「從猶大支派出來的」（來七14）。1. 從猶大到耶西的最早後裔（代上二3–12）。2. 耶西的兒女（代上二13–17）。3. 希斯倫的後裔，不僅經由蘭—大衛從他而出—也經由迦勒（代上二18–20）、西割（代上二21–24）、耶拉篾（代上二25–33，並延續到代上二34–41），以及更多經迦勒而出的（代上二42–49），加上迦勒的兒子戶珥的家族（代上二50–55）。我們所能有的、對本章及以下幾章最好的註解，也是能給我們最清晰視角的，乃是在約一百年前英文聖經最初幾版印行時所附帶出版的那些家譜表，並曾持續使用過一段時日；可惜的是，在我們較近的版本中它們卻未再恢復—它們對殷勤查考聖經的人極有用處。據說這些表是由那位精通聖經的大家休·布勞頓先生（Mr. Hugh Broughton）所編製。我們有時在舊聖經中仍能見到它們。
