📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of the extensive genealogies in 1 Chronicles, written after the Israelites returned from exile in Babylon (around 538-400 BC). The chronicler was documenting the family lines of Judah to help the returned exiles reestablish their tribal and family identities. These genealogies served as legal records for land ownership and religious duties in the restored community.
