1 Chronicles 2:44
"And Shema begat Raham, the father of Jorkoam: and Rekem begat Shammai."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Shema begat Raham, the father of Jorkoam,.... Which Hillerus (s) takes to be the name of a city in the tribe of Judah; and Jarchi's note is, that wherever

the word "father" is here used, it is to be understood of the prince of a city that follows: and Rekem begat Shammai; there is a descendant of Jerahmeel, the brother of Caleb, of this name, Ch1 2:28 . (s) Onomast. Sacr. p. 329.
