How preachers through history handled this text
4 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 1, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“This chapter and many that follow it repeat the genealogies we have hitherto met with in the sacred history, and put them all together, with considerable additions. We may be tempted, it may be, to think it would have been well if they had not been written, because, when they come to be compared with other parallel places, there are differences found, which we can scarcely accommodate to our satisfaction; yet we must not therefore stumble at the word, but bless God that the things necessary to salvation are plain enough. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 2 (Joshua to Esther), on 1 Chronicles 1:1–54 (Public Domain)
