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.

¹ 以色列的儿子记在下面：流便、西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦、西布伦、 ² 但、约瑟、便雅悯、拿弗他利、迦得、亚设。 ³ 犹大的儿子是珥、俄南、示拉；这三人是迦南人书亚的女儿为他生的。犹大的长子珥在耶和华眼中看为恶，耶和华就杀了他。 ⁴ 犹大的儿妇他玛给他生法勒斯和谢拉。犹大共有五个儿子。 ⁵ 法勒斯的儿子是希斯仑、哈母勒。 ⁶ 谢拉的儿子是心利、以探、希幔、甲各、达大，共五人。 ⁷ 迦米的儿子是亚干，即连累以色列人犯罪的亚割，因他在当灭的物上犯了罪。 ⁸ 以探的儿子是亚撒利雅。 ⁹ 希斯仑所生的儿子是耶拉篾、兰、基路拜。 ¹⁰ 兰生亚米拿达；亚米拿达生拿顺；拿顺是犹大支派的首领。 ¹¹ 拿顺生撒门；撒门生波阿斯； ¹² 波阿斯生俄备得；俄备得生耶西； ¹³ 耶西生长子以利押、次子亚比拿达、三子示米亚； ¹⁴ 四子拿坦业、五子莱代； ¹⁵ 六子阿鲜、七子大卫。 ¹⁶ 他们的姐妹是洗鲁雅和亚比该。洗鲁雅的儿子是亚比筛、约押、亚撒黑，共三人。 ¹⁷ 亚比该生亚玛撒；亚玛撒的父亲是以实玛利人益帖。
此处有：I. 雅各的家族。他的十二个儿子在此被列出——这一光辉的数目，几乎贯穿整本圣经，从首卷到末卷，常被颂赞。我们每到一处，都遇见从这十二位列祖而出的十二支派。他们中间几位的个人品格并非最好（前四位颇有瑕疵），然而圣约却归于他们的后裔；因为这是出于恩典、白白的恩典，所以才说，我所爱的雅各——不是出于行为，免得有人自夸。
II. 犹大的家族。这支派在众支派中最受赞美、最为增多、也最为尊荣，因此它的家谱在所有支派中是头一份，也是最长的一份。在这棵基督要成为顶枝的荣美之树最初的枝条中，我们遇见：一、有些人极恶。这里有犹大的长子珥，他在耶和华眼中看为恶，在年幼之日就被神圣的刑罚剪除：耶和华杀了他（代上2:3）。他的次弟俄南不比他好，结局也不比他好。这里有他玛，犹大这个公公与她犯了乱伦（代上2:4）。这里有亚干，称为亚割——连累以色列人者，因取了当灭之物而连累了以色列（代上2:7）。当知：最好最尊贵的家族中，也可能有属其中的人成为瑕疵。二、有些人极有智慧又良善，如希幔和以探，甲各和达大，他们或许并非谢拉直接的众子，而是他的后裔，他们之所以被记下，是因为他们是父家的荣耀；因为圣灵要高举所罗门的智慧时，便说他比这四人更有智慧，这四人虽是玛曷的儿子，却因谢拉而称为以斯拉人（王上4:31）。四兄弟都因智慧与恩典著称，实为难得。三、有些人极大，如拿顺，当以色列在旷野编营时他是犹大支派的首领，在那光荣的行伍中为前队；又有撒门或作撒珥门，他们进迦南时他居此尊位（代上2:10-11）。
III. 耶西的家族——为大卫和大卫子孙的缘故，这家谱被特别保存，因为大卫子孙是从耶西的干上发出的枝条（赛11:1）。从此可以看出，大卫是第七子，他的三大元帅约押、亚比筛、亚撒黑是其中一个姐妹的儿子，亚玛撒是另一个姐妹的儿子。这四人中有三人下到坑中死于刀下，虽然他们原是勇士所惧怕的。

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.

¹⁸ 希斯仑的儿子迦勒，从妻子亚苏巴和耶略生了儿子；这些是她的儿子：耶设、朔吧、押顿。 ¹⁹ 亚苏巴死了，迦勒又娶以法他，以法他给他生了户珥。 ²⁰ 户珥生乌利；乌利生比撒列。 ²¹ 此后，希斯仑年六十岁，娶了基列的父亲玛吉的女儿；她给他生了西割。 ²² 西割生睚珥；睚珥在基列地有二十三座城。 ²³ 后来睚珥的儿子们从他们手中夺取了基述和亚兰，连基纳和属基纳的村庄，共六十座城。这些都是基列的父亲玛吉的子孙的。 ²⁴ 希斯仑在迦勒以法他死后，他妻子亚比雅给他生了亚施户；亚施户是提哥亚的父亲。 ²⁵ 希斯仑长子耶拉篾的儿子是：长子兰、布拿、俄连、阿鲜、亚希雅。 ²⁶ 耶拉篾还有一个妻子，名叫亚他拉；她是阿南的母亲。 ²⁷ 耶拉篾长子兰的儿子是：玛益、雅悯、以结。 ²⁸ 阿南的儿子是沙买、雅大。沙买的儿子是拿答、亚比述。 ²⁹ 亚比述妻子的名字是亚比孩；她给他生了亚干、摩利。 ³⁰ 拿答的儿子是西列、亚遍；西列死了没有儿子。 ³¹ 亚遍的儿子是以示；以示的儿子是示珊；示珊的儿女是亚来。 ³² 沙买的兄弟雅大的儿子是益帖、约拿单；益帖死了没有儿子。 ³³ 约拿单的儿子是毗列、撒萨。这些都是耶拉篾的儿子。 ³⁴ 示珊没有儿子，只有女儿。示珊有一个仆人，是埃及人，名叫耶哈。 ³⁵ 示珊将女儿给了仆人耶哈为妻；她给他生了亚太。 ³⁶ 亚太生拿单；拿单生撒拔； ³⁷ 撒拔生以弗拉；以弗拉生俄备得； ³⁸ 俄备得生耶户；耶户生亚撒利雅； ³⁹ 亚撒利雅生希利斯；希利斯生以利亚萨； ⁴⁰ 以利亚萨生细赛买；细赛买生沙龙； ⁴¹ 沙龙生耶加米雅；耶加米雅生以利沙玛。 ⁴² 耶拉篾的兄弟迦勒的儿子记在下面：长子米沙，是西弗的父亲；又有玛利沙的儿子，是希伯仑的父亲。 ⁴³ 希伯仑的儿子是可拉、他普亚、利肯、示玛。 ⁴⁴ 示玛生拉含，是约干之父；利肯生沙买。 ⁴⁵ 沙买的儿子是玛云；玛云是伯夙之父。 ⁴⁶ 迦勒的妾以法生哈兰、摩撒、迦谢；哈兰生了迦谢。 ⁴⁷ 雅代的儿子是利健、约坦、基珊、毗列、以法、沙亚弗。 ⁴⁸ 迦勒的妾玛迦生示别、提哈拿； ⁴⁹ 她又生麦玛拿之父沙亚弗、玛革比拿之父示瓦，以及基比亚之父；迦勒的女儿是押撒。 ⁵⁰ 这都是户珥的儿子迦勒的子孙，户珥是以法他长子；有基列耶琳之父朔巴、 ⁵¹ 伯利恒之父撒门、伯迦特之父哈列弗。 ⁵² 基列耶琳之父朔巴的众子是：哈罗以，并玛拿半人。 ⁵³ 基列耶琳的诸族是以特人、布特人、舒玛人、密来特人；又从这些人出了琐拉人、以实陶人。 ⁵⁴ 撒门的众子是：伯利恒人、尼陀法人、亚他罗、约押家、玛拿半人、琐拉人。 ⁵⁵ 住雅比的文士的诸族是：他拉人、示米亚人、苏甲人。这些都是从哈末而来的基尼人，就是利甲家的祖先。
前一段所记的人，大多数是我们在别处经文中读到过的，而且多数是我们读到得多的；但本段所记的人，大多数在别处从未再被提及。看来犹大支派在他们的家谱上比任何其他支派都更详尽准确；我们必须承认其中含有特别的护理，为要澄清基督的家谱。一、此处我们找到比撒列，他是建造会幕的工头（出31:2）。二、希斯仑——他是法勒斯的儿子（代上2:5）——这一大群后裔的祖宗，他的儿子迦勒和耶拉篾都极为多产，他自己也是，甚至在年老时也是，因为他死时妻子正怀孕（代上2:24）。这位希斯仑是随雅各下到埃及的七十人之一（创46:12）。在那里他的家如此增多，正如其他受压迫的家在那里一样。我们不能不推想他是在以色列人受奴役于埃及时死的；然而经上却说他死在迦勒以法他（即伯利恒），在迦南地（代上2:24）。或许，虽然百姓主体仍在埃及，但有些比众人更积极的人——至少在奴役未到极点之前——曾访问过迦南，并在那里得了立足之地，虽然后来又失去了。此处所记睚珥的事迹（代上2:22-23），在民32:41已有记述；据推想，那是征服迦南之后许久的事。犹太人说，希斯仑六十岁时娶了第三位妻子（代上2:21），后来又娶一位（代上2:24），因为他极盼望在法勒斯家族中得着后裔——弥赛亚要从这家族而出。三、此处提到一位死时无子（代上2:30），又一位（代上2:32），还有一位没有儿子，只有女儿（代上2:34）。凡在这些方面受苦的人，不要以为自己的遭遇是新的或独有的。神的护理以无可争论的主权安排这些家庭的事务，随他所喜悦——赐儿女或不赐，或全赐同一性别的。他不必讨我们喜悦，我们却当顺服他所喜悦的旨意。对爱他的人，他必亲自比十个儿子更好，又在他的家中赐他们一个地位和名字，比儿女更好。所以凡被记为无子的人，不可嫉妒那被建立和充盈的家。神是良善的，我们的眼目要因此变恶吗？四、此处提到一位只有独女的人，把她嫁给自己的仆人——一个埃及人（代上2:34-35）。若这事被记下是为他的称赞，我们必须推想这埃及人已归依犹太教，又在智慧和德行上极为超群，否则一个真以色列人本不配把女儿——尤其独女——许配给他。埃及人若悔改归正，仆人若行事有功，他们的出身和奴仆身份都不当作他们升迁的障碍。这位埃及仆人或许就是这样的人，以致嫁了他的女子与他同住，可以如同嫁给本支派的官长一样快乐。五、这些人的家谱中，有的并不止于人，而是止于地名或国名：有人说他是基列耶琳之父（代上2:50），另一位是伯利恒之父（代上2:51）——这地后来是大卫的城——因为分地之时这些地方归了他们。六、此处有些人被称为文士的家族（代上2:55），他们在家中保持学问，尤其圣经的学问，并把认识神的美善知识教导百姓。这一切大家族之中，我们欣然看见有文士家族。愿神使主的百姓都作先知——愿以色列各家都作文士之家，都受教于天国，能从府库中拿出新旧的东西来！

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.
¹⁹ And when Azubah was dead, Caleb took unto him Ephrath, which bare him Hur.
²⁰ And Hur begat Uri, and Uri begat Bezaleel.
²¹ And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was threescore years old; and she bare him Segub.

⁵⁴ The sons of Salma; Bethlehem, and the Netophathites, Ataroth, the house of Joab, and half of the Manahethites, the Zorites.
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!
我们现在来到本书主要的意图所在——以色列众子的谱系，那分别为圣的子民，"独居的民，不列在万民中"（民 23:9）。此处我们读到：I. 以色列十二个儿子的名字（代上 2:1-2）。II. 犹大支派的记载，此支派居首位，与其说是因大卫的缘故，不如说是因大卫之子——我们主耶稣基督的缘故，因为祂是从犹大出来的（来 7:14）。1. 从犹大到耶西的最早后代（代上 2:3-12）。2. 耶西的众子（代上 2:13-17）。3. 希斯仑的后裔，不仅包括大卫所出的兰一支，也包括迦勒（代上 2:18-20）、朔巴（代上 2:21-24）、耶拉篾（代上 2:25-33，并延续至代上 2:34-41）各支，以及迦勒更多的后裔（代上 2:42-49），连同户利之子迦勒的家族（代上 2:50-55）。我们所能得到的对这一章及以下数章最好的注释，也是最能使我们清晰看见其脉络的，莫过于约一百年前随英文圣经初版印行、并持续了一段时期的那些谱系表；可惜后来的版本未能将其恢复，实在令人遗憾，因为对殷勤查考圣经的人而言，这些表格大有裨益。据说它们是由那位精通圣经学问的大师休·布劳顿先生所编制。我们有时仍可在老旧的圣经中见到它们。
