Isaac and Ishmael – <\/B>Isaac, though younger than Ishmael, is placed first, as the legitimate heir, since Sarah alone was Abrahams true wife (compare the 1Ch 1:36<\/span> note).<\/P> <\/p>\n Ver. 28-34. The sons of Abraham<\/strong>,…. The famous and well known ancestor of the Jews; of Ishmael his firstborn, and his posterity; of his sons by Keturah; and of Isaac and his sons, an account is given from hence to the end of 1Ch 1:34<\/span> entirely agreeing with that in<\/p>\n Ge 25:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n The sons of Abraham.<\/em> – In 1Ch 1:28<\/span> only Isaac and Ishmael are so called; Isaac first, as the son of the promise. Then, in 1Ch 1:29-31<\/span>, follow the posterity of Ishmael, with the remark that Ishmael was the first-born; in 1Ch 1:32<\/span> and 1Ch 1:33<\/span>, the sons of Keturah; and finally in 1Ch 1:34<\/span>, the two sons of Isaac.<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:29-33<\/span> <\/p>\n <\/strong> The names of the generations ( ) of Ishmael (Hebr. Yishma’el<\/em>) correspond to those in Gen 25:12-15<\/span>, and have been there explained. In 1Ch 1:32<\/span>. also, the names of the thirteen descendants of Abraham by Keturah, six sons and seven grandsons, agree with Gen 25:1-4<\/span> (see commentary on that passage); only the tribes mentioned in Gen 25:3<\/span>, which were descended from Dedan the grandson of Keturah, are omitted. From this Bertheau wrongly concludes that the chronicler probably did not find these names in his copy of the Pentateuch. The reason of the omission is rather this, that in Genesis the great-grandchildren are not themselves mentioned, but only the tribes descended from the grandchildren, while the chronicler wished to enumerate only the sons and grandsons. Keturah is called after Gen 25:6<\/span>, where Keturah and Hagar are so named.<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:34<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> The two sons of Isaac. Isaac has been already mentioned as a son of Abram, along with Ishmael, in 1Ch 1:28<\/span>. But here the continuation of the genealogy of Abraham is prefaced by the remark that Abraham begat Isaac, just as in Gen 25:19<\/span>, where the begetting of Isaac the son of Abraham is introduced with the same remark. Hence the supposition that the registers of the posterity of Abraham by Hagar and Keturah (1Ch 1:28-33<\/span>) have been derived from Gen 25, already in itself so probable, becomes a certainty.<\/p>\n Genealogies.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/I><\/span><\/P> <\/TD> B.

These are the sons of Ishmael. 32 Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine: she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan; Sheba, and Dedan. 33 And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these are<\/I> the sons of Keturah. 34 And Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel. 35 The sons of Esau; Eliphaz, Reuel, and Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. 36 The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek. 37 The sons of Reuel; Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. 38 And the sons of Seir; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan. 39 And the sons of Lotan; Hori, and Homam: and Timna was<\/I> Lotan’s sister. 40 The sons of Shobal; Alian, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. And the sons of Zibeon; Aiah, and Anah. 41 The sons of Anah; Dishon. And the sons of Dishon; Amram, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. 42 The sons of Ezer; Bilhan, and Zavan, and<\/I> Jakan. The sons of Dishan; Uz, and Aran. 43 Now these are<\/I> the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any<\/I> king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was<\/I> Dinhabah. 44 And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. 45 And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. 46 And when Husham was dead, Hadad the son of Bedad, which smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was<\/I> Avith. 47 And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. 48 And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. 49 And when Shaul was dead, Baal-hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. 50 And when Baal-hanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was<\/I> Pai; and his wife’s name was<\/I> Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. 51 Hadad died also. And the dukes of Edom were; duke Timnah, duke Aliah, duke Jetheth, 52 Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, 53 Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, 54 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These are<\/I> the dukes of Edom.<\/P> All nations but the seed of Abraham are already shaken off from this genealogy: they have no part nor lot in this matter. The Lord’s portion is his people.<\/I> Of them he keeps an account, knows them by name; but those who are strangers to him he beholds afar off. Not that we are to conclude that therefore no particular persons of any other nation but the seed of Abraham found favour with God. It was a truth, before Peter perceived it, that in every nation he that feared God and wrought righteousness was accepted of him.<\/I> Multitudes will be brought to heaven out of all nations<\/I> (Rev. vii. 9<\/span>), and we are willing to hope there were many, very many, good people in the world, that lay out of the pale of God’s covenant of peculiarity with Abraham, whose names were in the book of life, though not descended from any of the following families written in this book. The Lord knows those that are his.<\/I> But Israel was a chosen nation, elect in type; and no other nation, in its national capacity, was so dignified and privileged as the Jewish nation was. That is the holy nation which is the subject of the sacred story; and therefore we are next to shake off all the seed of Abraham but the posterity of Jacob only, which were all incorporated into one nation and joined to the Lord, while the other descendants from Abraham, for aught that appears, were estranged both from God and from one another.<\/P> I. We shall have little to say of the Ishmaelites.<\/I> They were the sons of the bondwoman, that were to be cast out and not to be heirs with the child of the promise; and their case was to represent that of the unbelieving Jews, who were rejected (Gal 4:22<\/span>; Gal 4:23<\/span>, c.), and therefore there is little notice taken of that nation. Ishmael’s twelve sons are just named here (<i>v.<\/span> 29-31<\/span><\/U><\/span>), to show the performance of the promise God made to Abraham, in answer to his prayer for him, that, for Abraham’s sake, he should become a great nation, and particularly that he should beget twelve princes, Gen. xvii. 20<\/span>.<\/P> II. We shall have little to say of the Midianites,<\/I> who descended from Abraham’s children by Keturah. They were children of the east<\/I> (probably Job was one of them), and were separated from Isaac, the heir of the promise (Gen. xxv. 6<\/span>), and therefore they are only named here, v.<\/I><\/span> 32<\/span>. The sons of Jokshan, the son of Keturah, are named also, and the sons of Midian (1Ch 1:32<\/span>; 1Ch 1:33<\/span>), who became most eminent, and perhaps gave denomination to all these families, as Judah to the Jews.<\/P> III. We shall not have much to say of the Edomites.<\/I> They had an inveterate enmity to God’s Israel; yet because they descended from Esau, the son of Isaac, we have here an account of their families, and the names of some of their famous men, v.<\/I><\/span> 35<\/span> to the end. Some slight differences there are between some of the names here, and as we had them in Gen. xxxvi.<\/span>, whence this whole account is taken. Three of four names that were written with a Vau<\/I> there are written with a Jod<\/I> here, probably the pronunciation being altered, as is usual in other languages. We now write many words very differently from what they were written but 200 years ago. Let us take occasion, from the reading of these genealogies, to think, 1. Of the multitudes that have gone through this world, have acted their part in it, and then quitted it. Job, even in his early day, saw not only every man drawing after him,<\/I> but innumerable before him,<\/I> Job xxi. 33<\/I><\/span>. All these, and all theirs, had their day; many of them made a mighty noise and figure in the world; but their day came to fall, and their place knew them no more. The paths of death are trodden paths, but vestigia nulla retrorsum<\/I>—none can retrace their steps.<\/I> 2. Of the providence of God, which keeps up the generations of men, and so preserves that degenerate race, though guilty and obnoxious, in being upon earth. How easily could he cut it off without either a deluge or a conflagration! Write but all the children of men childless, as some are, and in a few years the earth will be eased of the burden under which it groans; but the divine patience lets the trees that cumber the ground not only grow, but propagate. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes (Ecc 1:4<\/span>; Num 32:14<\/span>), and will do so while the earth remains. Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it.<\/I><\/P><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Abraham’s Descendants, Verses 28-42<\/p>\n The genealogies of Ishmael are correspondent to those of Gen 25:12-18<\/span>; those of Esau to Genesis – Chapter 36. The sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine, are not listed on a par with Isaac and Ishmael, but are named, with their descendants following those of Ishmael. The parallel in Genesis is Gen 25:1-4<\/span>. It appears that the descendants of Keturah may have all become known in later years as Midianites. They were closely associated with the Ishmaelites, as were also some of the sons of Esau.<\/p>\n There seems to be nothing of particular significance in these genealogies other than to show how the Lord kept His word to make of these “other” sons of Abraham great nations (Gen 17:20<\/span>; Gen 27:39-40<\/span>).<\/p>\n I beg the Reader, to observe with me, that the great object in the Chronicles being to preserve in the mind the lineal descent from Adam to Christ, the sacred Writer, in this instance, as in the instance before in the race of Noah, first dismisses in a short way the stock of Abraham, after the ordinary course of nature, to dwell more largely hereafter on the seed according to grace. Hence the children of Ishmael, are taken notice of before those of Isaac.<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:28-31<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:28-31<\/p>\n “The sons of Abraham: Isaac, and Ishmael. These are their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; then Kedar, and Adbael, and Mibsam, Mishma, and Dumah, Massa, Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These are the sons of Ishmael.”<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:28-31. Isaac was 14 years younger than Ishmael, but is named first because he was the son chosen to be in the line. The members of Ishmael’s family will be given more notice sometime later, but are only casually named in this paragraph. <\/p>\n Isaac: Gen 17:19-21, Gen 21:2-5, Gen 21:12 <\/p>\n Ishmael: Gen 16:11-16, Gen 21:9, Gen 21:10 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 16:15 – Hagar Mat 1:2 – Abraham<\/p>\n 1Ch 1:28. The sons of Abraham All nations but the seed of Abraham are already shaken off from this genealogy. Not that we conclude, no particular persons of any other nation but this found favour with God; multitudes will be brought to heaven out of every nation, and we may hope there were many, very many people in the world, whose names were in the book of life, though they did not spring from the loins of Abraham.<\/p>\n The sons of Abraham; Isaac, and Ishmael. Isaac and Ishmael – Isaac, though younger than Ishmael, is placed first, as the legitimate heir, since Sarah alone was Abrahams true wife (compare the 1Ch 1:36 note).
