1 Chronicles 1:1

1 Chronicles 1:1 says, Adam, Sheth, Enosh,  Matthew Henry points out that there is a lot of repetition of what has already been written about in other books, and we begin with the genealogy from Adam onward, though it is not stated that this is what is being recorded here.  He also points out that the time between Adam, the common father of our flesh and Abraham, the common father of the faithful, there were about two-thousand years and that Adam lived for nearly half of it.  I will simply state many of the verses, since there isn't much to add.  Verse two adds, Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered,  Verse three continues, Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech,  Verse four states, Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  The first four and the last few verses are linked by Shem and include the sacred lineage of Christ and are included in his pedigree Matthew Henry points out. Verse five adds, The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.  Starting with this verse going through verse nineteen, we have an account of the replenishing of the earth after Noah.  Verse six continues, And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.  Verse seven says, And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.  Verse eight adds, The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.  Verse nine continues, And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.  Verse ten states, And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth.  Verse eleven adds, And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,  Verse twelve continues, And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphthorim.  We do have the added information that the Philistines were descendants of Casluhim.  All nations can be traced back to Adam and Eve, and to the dispersion after the flood, but because of pride and disobedience to God, they were scattered into many nations.  These nations will continue to be listed in the next few verses.  Verse thirteen says, And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth,  Verse fourteen adds, The Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,  Verse fifteen continues, And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,  Verse sixteen concludes, And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.  Verse seventeen states, The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.  We start with the descendants of Shem here.  Verse eighteen adds, And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.  Verse nineteen continues, And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan.  Verse twenty says, And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,  Verse twenty-one adds, Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah,  Verse twenty-two continues, And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba,  Verse twenty-three says, And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.  Verse twenty-four adds, Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,  Verse twenty-five continues, Eber, Peleg, Reu,  Verse twenty-six concludes, Serug, Nahor, Terah,
