καὶ υἱοὶ Ιουδα Φαρες Αρσων καὶ Χαρμι καὶ Ωρ Σουβαλ
And the sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, Carmi, Hur, and Shobal.
The chapter resumes Judah's internal genealogy by reopening with a fresh 'sons of Judah' heading, not because the tribe is newly introduced, but because supplementary collateral lines are now being attached to the larger Judah dossier.

καὶ Ραια υἱὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ Σουβαλ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Ιεθ καὶ Ιεθ ἐγέννησεν τὸν Αχιμι καὶ τὸν Λααδ αὗται αἱ γενέσεις τοῦ Σαραθι
And Reaiah his son; and Shobal begot Jahath, and Jahath begot Ahumai and Lahad. These are the family lines of the Zorathites.
The notice narrows from Judah's broad heading to a Shobalite line. γεννάω gives the verse its simple genealogical backbone, and the closing family-formula converts individual names into a recognized clan-group.

And these were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ragma, and Jabez; and the name of their sister was Eselebbon.
The asyndetic list briefly widens to another Judahite collateral branch centered on Etam. The inclusion of a sister's name is notable in so compressed a register and suggests the preservation of a remembered local tradition.

And Penuel was father of Gedor, and Azer father of Hushah. These were the sons of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah, father of Bethlehem.
The verse binds genealogy to geography: named ancestors become 'fathers' of places. Hur's line culminates in Bethlehem, giving this otherwise terse list later Davidic resonance.

And Ashhur, father of Tekoa, had two wives, Aodah and Thoada.

The first wife's line is recorded through a childbirth formula rather than the more usual begetting idiom. The maternal attribution remains prominent throughout the verse.

And Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, 'If indeed you will bless me and enlarge my borders, and if your hand will be with me, and if you will grant discernment so that I may not be humbled' - and God brought upon him all that he asked.
This is the theological heart of the chapter's Judah section. Petition, requested enlargement, divine companionship, and the terse statement of answered prayer show that blessing depends on Israel's God, not on lineage alone.

And Chelub, father of Ascha, begot Machir; he was father of Assathon.
After the Jabez vignette the chapter reenters the list-form. The abrupt resumption itself is instructive: narrative interruption serves theology, but genealogy remains the dominant medium.

The register turns to Shelah son of Judah and preserves households rather than only individual sons. Its difficult phraseology shows a textual tradition more interested in preserving inherited labels than in clarifying them for later readers.

And Joakim and the men of Chozeba and Joas and Saraph, who dwelt in Moab and brought them back to Abederin Athoukiin. These matters are ancient.
The verse sounds more annalistic than genealogical, with Moab and a backward-looking aside about 'ancient matters.' Chronicles is willing to keep archaic, partly opaque traditions as part of Judah's remembered past.

And to Semei were sixteen sons and three daughters, but to his brothers there were not many sons, and all their clans did not multiply like the sons of Judah.
The genealogy momentarily turns statistical and comparative. Simeon's family growth is measured against Judah's, implicitly explaining why the tribe remains smaller and more vulnerable to absorption.

καὶ εὗρον νομὰς πίονας καὶ ἀγαθάς καὶ ἡ γῆ πλατεῖα ἐναντίον αὐτῶν καὶ εἰρήνη καὶ ἡσυχία ὅτι ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Χαμ τῶν κατοικούντων ἐκεῖ ἔμπροσθεν
And they found rich and good pasture, and the land before them was broad, with peace and quiet, because some of the sons of Ham had dwelt there formerly.
The land is described in classic attractive-settlement terms: rich pasture, breadth, peace, and quiet. The note about prior Hamite occupants frames the area as both inhabited and yet open to later displacement.

And these who were recorded by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah and struck down their tents and the Meunites whom they found there, and devoted them to destruction unto this day; and they dwelt in their place, because there was pasture there for their cattle.
The verse becomes annalistic. The dating to Hezekiah, the destruction of previous inhabitants, and the occupation of their place turn Simeon's pasture-search into remembered military resettlement.
