"Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters. And Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha." — 1 Chronicles 2:34 (ASV)
Now Sheshan had no sons, but daughters And but one of that sort, whose name was Ahlai, (1 Chronicles 2:31) the plural being put here for the singular; or, if that is the name of a son, as some think, he died in his father's lifetime, and left no issue; so that there only remained daughters, and it seems but one by the next verse:
and Sheshan had a servant, an Egyptian, whose name was Jarha ; one born in his house, and brought up by him, and a proselyte, such an one as Eliezer in Abraham's family.
