1 Chronicles 1
1
1Adam, Seth, Enosh,#1:1. The book begins with the list of names, that may seem odd to a modern reader, but in giving this genealogical line the writer of Chronicles is summarizing history. Instead of trying to provide information as to who all these individuals were, it is recommended that the relevant information is found in the historical books of the Bible from Genesis onwards. 2Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, 3Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah.
4The sons of Noah:#1:4. Septuagint reading: this line is absent in the Hebrew text. Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

18Arphaxad was the father of Shelah, and Shelah the father of Eber.
19Eber had two sons. One was named Peleg,#1:19. The word means “divided.” because in his time the earth was divided; the name of his brother was Joktan.
20Joktan was the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 21Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 22Obal,#1:22. Most manuscripts have Ebal, but see Genesis 10:28. Abimael, Sheba, 23Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These were all Joktan's sons.

35The sons of Esau: Eliphaz, Reuel, Jeush, Jalam and Korah.
36The sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho,#1:36. Most Hebrew manuscripts have “Zephi” but see Genesis 36:11. Gatam and Kenaz; and Amalek through Timna.#1:36. Some Septuagint manuscripts. Timna was Eliphaz's concubine (see Genesis 36:12).

46When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, took over as king. He was the one who defeated Midian in the country of Moab. The name of his city was Avith. 47When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah took over as king. 48When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth on the River#1:48. Probably the Euphrates River.
