(2) Reaiah (or Jehoraah) the son of Shobal . . .—See 1Ch_2:52, which also calls Shobal “father of Kirjath-jearim.” 1Ch_2:53 adds that the Zorathites (Authorised Version, Zareathites) came of the clans of Kirjath-jearim. The present verse supplements the data of 1 Chronicles 2, by putting the clans of Zorah in immediate genealogical connection with Shobal. Their names—Ahumai and Lahad—occur nowhere else.
