Jerahmeel
The name Jerahmeel means "God will have compassion" or "may God pity." In the context of 1 Chronicles, Jerahmeel is a descendant of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. His lineage is significant as it highlights the continuation of the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. The mention of Jerahmeel underscores the importance of family lineage and God's faithfulness in preserving His chosen people.

had another wife
This phrase indicates the practice of polygamy, which was not uncommon in ancient Israelite culture. While polygamy was practiced by some of the patriarchs and kings, it often led to familial strife and complications, as seen in various biblical narratives. From a conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the contrast between cultural practices of the time and the biblical ideal of monogamous marriage as later affirmed in the New Testament (e.g., Ephesians 5:31).

named Atarah
The name Atarah means "crown" or "wreath," symbolizing honor and distinction. In the biblical context, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes prophetic or indicative of a person's role or character. Atarah's mention as Jerahmeel's wife and the mother of Onam suggests her importance in the genealogical record, contributing to the continuation of Jerahmeel's lineage.

who was the mother of Onam
Onam's mention here serves to trace the genealogy and heritage of the tribe of Judah. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles are not merely historical records but are theological affirmations of God's covenant faithfulness. Each name represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the coming of the Messiah. The role of mothers in these genealogies, though often understated, is crucial as they bear and nurture the next generation of God's people.

(26) Atarah.--The word means corona, here and in 1Chronicles 2:54; probably, the ring-fence or fortifications round a city. So ???????? was used in Greek (Pindar, Olymp. viii. 42, of the wall of Troy). The plural Ataroth occurs as the name of a town in Numbers 32:3; Joshua 16:5.

The mother of Onam.--See 1Chronicles 2:28-34 for the ramifications of this clan.

Verse 26. - For עְטָרָה, one manuscript has אָטֶר, and another קְטוּרָה.
