Notes

1 Chronicles 1:34–2:2

Isaac’s genealogy first lists Esau's descendants (1 Chronicles 1:35–54) and then continues with Israel. The history of Edom is divided into three parts:

Esau's sons (1 Chronicles 1:35–37)
Seir's descendants (1 Chronicles 1:38–42)
The kings who ruled Edom (1 Chronicles 1:43–54)

This arrangement follows Genesis 36.

1 Chronicles 1:1–2:2

The Chronicler starts by showing Israel's place among the nations. He traces their ancestry from Adam to Jacob, using information from Genesis.
