The sons of Jonathan
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Jonathan, a name that means "Yahweh has given" in Hebrew. Jonathan, in this context, is a descendant of Jerahmeel, a lesser-known figure in the Bible. The mention of "sons" emphasizes the importance of family lineage and heritage in the Hebrew culture, where genealogies were meticulously recorded to preserve tribal identities and fulfill God's promises to the patriarchs.

Peleth
The name Peleth is derived from a Hebrew root meaning "swiftness" or "flight." This name, though not widely mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, signifies the unique identity and role each individual played within their family and tribe. In a broader sense, it reflects the diversity and richness of God's creation, where each person, regardless of their prominence in the biblical narrative, contributes to the unfolding of God's plan.

and Zaza
Zaza is another name that appears only in genealogical records, and its meaning is somewhat uncertain, though it may be related to the idea of "belonging" or "abundance." The inclusion of such names, even when their accounts are not elaborated upon, underscores the biblical theme that every person is known and valued by God. It reminds us that in God's eyes, no one is insignificant, and each life has a purpose within His divine tapestry.

These were the descendants of Jerahmeel
Jerahmeel, whose name means "may God have compassion," is a figure whose lineage is traced back to Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This phrase ties the individuals mentioned back to a larger narrative of God's covenant with Israel. The descendants of Jerahmeel, though not central figures in the biblical story, are part of the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This highlights the faithfulness of God across generations and His commitment to His people, encouraging believers to trust in God's promises and His sovereign plan throughout history.

(33) These were the sons of Jerahmeel.--Subscription of the list contained in 1Chronicles 2:25-33. It is noteworthy that the total of the names from Judah to Zaza again amounts to about seventy. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 1; see also Genesis 46:27.)
