1 Chronicles 1:15 lists the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham, tracing the genealogy from Canaan to Sidon, the Hittites, Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. This genealogy serves to provide a historical account of the nations that descended from Canaan, illustrating the fulfillment of God's promise to Noah regarding the descendants of his sons. It also sets the stage for the subsequent narratives in Chronicles, highlighting the importance of lineage and heritage in the context of God's covenant with His people.
