1 Chronicles 4 - Introduction

IV.

1 Chronicles 4. comprises (1) a compilation of fragmentary notices relating to the clans of Judah, their settlements and handicrafts, at an epoch which is not determined: this section serves at once as a supplement to the account of Judah already given in 1 Chronicles 1:3, and as a first instalment of the similar survey of the other tribes which follows (1 Chronicles 4:24); (2) similar notices relating to the tribe of Simeon (24-38).
