Ver. 10-12. And Ram begat Amminadab,…. Ram is the same with Aram, Mt 1:3 the genealogy is carried down from him to Jesse in the same order as there, and in Ru 4:19 only here Nahshon the son of Amminadab is called
the prince of the children of Judah; which Kimchi and Jarchi say is written for the honour of David, who descended from him; and Salmon his son is here called Salma.

I.(10-17) The descent of David from Amminadab, of the house of Ram. The royal line naturally takes precedence of the other two. Rth. 4:18-22 gives this line from Pharez to David. (Compare the genealogies of Christ, Matthew 1 and Luke 3) Nahshon is called chief of Judah in Num. ii 3 (comp. 1Ch. 1:7; 1Ch. 7:12), at the time of the Exodus.
(11) Salma.So in Rth. 4:20; but in 1Ch. 2:21, Mat. 1:4, and Luk. 3:32, Salmon.
(13-17) The family of Jesse (Heb., Yishai in 1Ch. 2:12, but Ishai in 1Ch. 2:13).
Seven sons are here named. 1Sa. 17:12-13 states that Jesse had eight sons; and from 1Sa. 16:6-10 (Heb.) it appears that he had that number. In both passages, Eliab, Abinadab, and Shimma (Heb., Shim, here and at 1Ch. 20:7) occur, the last under the form Shammah. He is called Shimei (2Sa. 21:21); but Shimeah == Shimah (2Sa. 13:3; 2Sa. 13:32); and this appears to have been his real name.
(14, 15) Nethaneel . . . Raddai . . . Ozem.Not named elsewhere in the Scriptures. The son of Jesse, omitted in our present Heb. text, is called Elihu in the Syriac version, which makes him seventh and David the eighth. The name Elihu occurs in 1Ch. 27:18 for Eliab.
(16) Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail.Literally, And their sisters, &c. If the reading in 2Sa. 17:25 be correct, these two women were daughters of Nahash, who must therefore have been a wife of Jesse. Abigail (there called Abigal) was mother of the warrior Amasa, who became Absaloms general (2Sa. 19:13), and was afterwards assassinated by Joab (2Sa. 20:10).
Abishai.Abshai, here and elsewhere in the chronicle.
Joab, the famous commander-in-chief of Davids forces (see 1Ch. 11:6-8); and for Joab and Abishai, who, like Asahel, was one of Davids heroes (1Ch. 11:20; 1Ch. 11:26), comp. 1Ch. 18:12; 1Ch. 18:15; 1Ch. 19:10 seq., 1Ch. 21:2 et seq., 1Ch. 27:24. Davids champions were thus his immediate kin, just as Abner was to Saul.
(17) Jether the Ishmeelite.Incorrectly called Ithra an Israelite in 2Sa. 17:25. The later abhorrence of alien marriages seems to have been unknown in the age of David. The name of Zeruiahs husband is unknown.
II.The Calebite stock (1Ch. 2:18-24).
