For the family history of Zerah, compare Joshua 7:1, 17; 1 Kings 4:31 (Mahol might be another name for Zerah).

The genealogy of Judah is detailed, including background information on David's ancestors. Compare Genesis 46:12.

The genealogies show all the people of Israel (1 Chronicles 2:1–2), but they focus more on David's ancestors from the tribe of Judah.
