1 Chronicles 2:53-55
Context2:53 the clans of Kiriath Jearim – the Ithrites, Puthites, Shumathites, and Mishraites. (The Zorathites and Eshtaolites descended from these groups.) 1
2:54 The sons of Salma:
Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth Beth-Joab, half the Manahathites, the Zorites, 2:55 and the clans of the scribes 2 who lived in Jabez: the Tirathites, Shimeathites, and Sucathites. These are the Kenites who descended 3 from Hammath, the father of Beth-Rechab. 4
[2:53] 1 tn Heb “from these went forth the Zorathites and Eshtaolites.”
[2:55] 2 tn Or perhaps “the Sopherim.” The NAB transliterates this term and treats it as a proper name.
[2:55] 4 tn Or (if בֵּית [beth] is translated as “house” rather than considered to be part of the name) “the father of the house [i.e., family] of Rechab.”
