1:1 The book begins with the list of names, that may seem odd to a modern reader, but in giving this genealogical line the writer of Chronicles is summarizing history. Instead of trying to provide information as to who all these individuals were, it is recommended that the relevant information is found in the historical books of the Bible from Genesis onwards.
1:4 Septuagint reading: this line is absent in the Hebrew text.
1:5 As has been noted elsewhere, “sons” can mean “descendants.”
1:6 Or Diphath.
1:8 Or “Sudan/Ethiopia.”
1:8 Or “Egypt.”
1:17 Some Septuagint manuscripts: this line is absent in most Hebrew manuscripts. See Genesis 10:23.
1:19 The word means “divided.”
1:22 Most manuscripts have Ebal, but see Genesis 10:28.
1:24 Some Septuagint manuscripts add “Cainan” here.
1:36 Most Hebrew manuscripts have “Zephi” but see Genesis 36:11.
1:36 Some Septuagint manuscripts. Timna was Eliphaz's concubine (see Genesis 36:12).
1:40 In most Hebrew manuscripts “Alian,” but some Hebrew and Septuagint manuscripts have “Alvan.” See Genesis 36:23.
1:41 In most Hebrew manuscripts “Hamran,” but some Hebrew and Septuagint manuscripts have “Hemdan.” See Genesis 36:26.
1:42 In most Hebrew manuscripts “Zaavan” or “Jaakan,” but some Hebrew and Septuagint manuscripts have “Akan.” See Genesis 36:27.
1:42 Or “Dishon.”
1:48 Probably the Euphrates River. See Genesis 10:11.
1:50 In most Hebrew manuscripts “Pai,” but some Hebrew and Septuagint manuscripts have “Pau.” See Genesis 36:39.
1:51 The name listing changes from kings to chiefs since after this time Edom was under the rule of Israel and so did not have its own king.
