Berean Study Bible
The sons of Shimon
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Shimon, a name that means "heard" in Hebrew. Shimon is a common name in the Bible, often associated with the tribe of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The mention of "sons" here emphasizes the importance of lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, reflecting the patriarchal structure of ancient Israelite society. It underscores the continuity of God's promises through generations, as each name carries forward the legacy of faith and covenant.

Amnon
The name Amnon means "faithful" or "trustworthy" in Hebrew. This name is significant as it reflects a desired characteristic in the biblical context—faithfulness to God and His commandments. Amnon's inclusion in this genealogy highlights the importance of personal character and integrity in the biblical narrative, serving as a reminder of the virtues that are esteemed in the eyes of God.

Rinnah
Rinnah means "shouting" or "joyful song" in Hebrew. This name evokes a sense of celebration and praise, which is a recurring theme in the Psalms and other biblical texts. The presence of such a name in the genealogy suggests the joy and worship that are integral to the life of faith, reminding believers of the importance of rejoicing in the Lord and expressing gratitude for His blessings.

Ben-hanan
The name Ben-hanan translates to "son of grace" or "son of favor" in Hebrew. This name highlights the concept of divine grace and favor, which is a central theme throughout the Bible. It serves as a reminder of God's unmerited favor towards His people, a grace that is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ. The inclusion of this name in the genealogy underscores the hope and assurance of God's continued favor upon His people.

Tilon
Tilon is a less common name, and its meaning is not entirely clear, though it may be related to the Hebrew root for "elevation" or "exaltation." This name could symbolize the lifting up or exaltation of God's people, reflecting the biblical theme of God raising the humble and exalting those who are faithful to Him. It serves as an encouragement to believers to remain steadfast in their faith, trusting that God will honor and elevate them in due time.

The descendants of Ishi
Ishi means "my husband" or "my salvation" in Hebrew. This name is rich with covenantal imagery, as God often refers to Himself as the husband of Israel, and salvation is a central theme of the biblical narrative. The mention of Ishi's descendants highlights the ongoing fulfillment of God's promises to His people, as each generation carries forward the hope of salvation and the assurance of God's covenantal love.

Zoheth and Ben-zoheth
Zoheth means "brightness" or "splendor" in Hebrew, while Ben-zoheth means "son of brightness." These names evoke imagery of light and glory, which are often associated with God's presence and revelation in the Bible. The inclusion of these names in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the calling of God's people to reflect His light and glory in the world, living as beacons of hope and truth in a darkened world.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(20) The Sons of Shimon.--Nothing is said elsewhere of them, or of the sons of Ishi. Ishi (1Chronicles 2:31) is a Jerahmeelite name; but/as throughout tho section (1Chronicles 4:2-19) we have found indications that the ramifications of the house of Caleb are the principal subject, and as 1Chronicles 4:20 is appended to the rest, without any opposing remark, it, is highly probable that it also refers to some Calebite clans and towns.

Pulpit Commentary
Verse 20. - The names of this verse obtain no light from other passages. The Septuagint (Alexandrian), in loc., speaks of "Someion, the father of Jomam," in the former verse which probably stands for this Shimon. Also the Septuagint for Vulgate, instead of counting Ben-hanan as the name of a third son, translate it, as of Rinnah "son of Hanan." Ishi; not to be confused with ch. 2:31, son of Appaim. Our Authorized Version, following the Vulgate, does not translate Ben-zoheth, while the Hebrew would read naturally "Zoheth, and the son of Zoheth."
