Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 8:36
And Ahaz begat Jehoadah,.... Called Jarah, 1 Chronicles 9:42 and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza; the same account is given, 1 Chronicles 9:42.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 8:36
And Ahaz begat Jehoadah; and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza, Jehoadah - or Jara (1 Chronicles 9:42).
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:36
(36) Jehoadah.—Heb., Jeho’addah. 1 Chronicles 9:42 gives Jarah (Heb., Ja’rah), a mistake arising from the common confusion of the Heb. d and r. The name there should be read, “Jo’addah,” a contraction of the present form. Alemeth.—In 1 Chronicles 7:8 a son of Becher; in 1 Chronicles 6:60 a Levitical town. The name is apparently personal here.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 8:36
