Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Sheshan: When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have much property to bestow upon them. Hassan had been the slave of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and left him at his death one part of his great riches which he had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life - Maillet, Lett. xi. p. 118.

his daughter: 1 Chronicles 2:31

Attai: i.e. opportune, [Strong's H6262], 1 Chronicles 2:36, 1 Chronicles 12:11, 2 Chronicles 11:20

Attai 1. Son of Jarha, father of Nathan 1 Chronicles 2:35, 1 Chronicles 2:36, 2. One who came to David to Ziklan 1 Chronicles 12:11, 3. Son of Rehoboam by Maachah 2 Chronicles 11:20

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 2:34 - Jarha

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife,.... Having first given him his freedom, as the Targum premises; this daughter seems to be Ahlai, 1 Chronicles 2:31 which receives confirmation from Zabad, one of the descendants of this man, 1 Chronicles 2:36, being said to be the son of Ahlai, 1 Chronicles 11:41, that is, great-grandson:

and she bare him Attai; the genealogy of whose descendants is given to the end of 1 Chronicles 2:41, of whom no mention is made elsewhere, but of Zabad, as before observed; and, according to the Jews, it is given for the sake of Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, the last person mentioned in this genealogy; which Ishmael slew Gedaliah governor of Jerusalem, and is said to be of the seed royal, Jeremiah 41:1.
