And the sons of Jonathan; Peleth, and Zaza. These were the sons of Jerahmeel.

Know the Bible

What does 1 Chronicles 2:33 mean?

1 Chronicles 2:33 places Peleth and Zaza in Jerahmeel’s family line through their father, Jonathan. The verse records their place in the family rather than describing events in their lives.

The phrase “sons of Jerahmeel” closes the family line that began in verse 25. Here it includes later generations, not only Jerahmeel’s immediate sons.
