What Does 1 Chronicles 2:33 Mean?
The chronicler names Jonathan's sons, Peleth and Zaza, and then sums up: these were the sons of Jerahmeel. With this line the long account of the Jerahmeelite family draws to a close. The chronicler has faithfully recorded this whole branch of Judah before moving on.
The summary statement, these were the sons of Jerahmeel, gathers many scattered names into one family belonging to one people of God. What might seem an endless list is in truth a portrait of God's covenant household, each name a member, each generation a link. The Lord holds them all together as one. In Christ, the gathering is wider still, as people from every line are made one family by His grace.
