And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath,.... Reaiah is the same with Haroeh, 1-Chronicles 2:52 the names are of the same signification:
and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites; who inhabited Zoreah, as the Targum, at least part of it; see 1-Chronicles 2:53.
1-Chronicles 4:2, with the descendants of Shobal. As to Reaiah the son of Shobal, see 1-Chronicles 2:52. He begat Jahath, a name often occurring in Levite families, cf. 1-Chronicles 6:5, 1-Chronicles 6:28; 1-Chronicles 23:10., 1-Chronicles 24:22, 2-Chronicles 34:12; but of the descendant of David who bore this name nothing further is known. His sons Ahumai and Lahad founded the families of the Zorathites, i.e., the inhabitants of Zora, who also, according to 1-Chronicles 2:53, were descended from sons of Shobal. Our verse therefore gives more detailed information regarding the lineage of these families.
