1 Chronicles 2:31 says, “The son of Sheshan: Ahlai,” and 2:34 says, “Now Sheshan had no sons, but only daughters”; 2:35 says that Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant as wife, and that she bore him Attai. Both editions read so. The text does not say who Ahlai is, or how 2:31 and 2:34 fit. This collection records Ahlai in the list 1ch-2-25-33 as Sheshan’s son and Attai in the list 1ch-2-34-41 as Jarha’s son, and does not decide how the two verses fit.
