Accepted Answer

1 Chronicles 2:47 lists the sons of a man named Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph. This verse is part of a genealogical record, tracing family lines within the tribe of Judah. The book of 1 Chronicles was written to document the ancestry of Israel’s tribes, especially Judah, for the returned exiles. In this section, the writer is listing descendants to show connections between families. Naming Jahdai and his sons helps preserve the memory of these individuals and their place in Israel’s history.
