Ezra
1 Chronicles 1:38BSB·traditional attribution

The sons of Seir: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

Israel was the chosen nation, elect in type; no other people in their national capacity held the covenant privilege the Jews held. The Lord knows His own by name, and many good souls outside Abraham's seed surely found favor with Him, but this genealogy traces the one nation incorporated into His peculiar bond. The Ishmaelites get scant notice because they were cast out as children of the bondwoman, and their rejection foreshadowed the unbelieving Jews rejected after.

John Gill Reformed Baptist

Seir and his sons were not Esau's blood relatives but became part of his family through marriage; Esau obtained their lands and their line merged with his own. This genealogy follows Genesis with only minor variations in the names.
