God's Faithfulness to His People The detailed genealogies demonstrate God's ongoing commitment to His people, fulfilling His promises through each generation. Identity in Christ Just as the names in this genealogy carry meaning, our identity in Christ gives us purpose and direction. We are called to live out the characteristics that reflect our relationship with Him.(38) Bocheru.--Some MSS. read "his firstborn," with which, with different points, the LXX. and the Syriac agree. This seems right, as the conjunctive particle is wanting between Azrikam and the doubtful word, and Bocheru would be anomalous as a proper name. (See Note on 1Chronicles 8:40.) Azel.--A place near Jerusalem was so called (Zechariah 14:5; Micah 1:11). Verses 38-40. - The genealogy runs on from Micah to Ulam with nothing special to remark upon. Ulam is twelfth from Saul, while his "sons and sons' sons" (ver. 40) are spoken cf. The time of Hezekiah must be reached, therefore, who was thirteenth from David. The table of next chapter stops with the name Azel (1 Chronicles 9:44), and wears the appearance of having just missed the last two verses of this chapter.Parallel Commentaries ...
