SCRIPTURE

"and Shamsherai, and Shehariah, and Athaliah," — 1 Chronicles 8:26 (ASV)

Ver. 26,27. And Shamsherai

Who, with those next mentioned, Shehariah, Athaliah, Jaresiah, Eliah, and Zichri, [were the sons of] Jeroham.

Jeroham, who perhaps is the same as Jerimoth, another son of Elpaal (1 Chronicles 8:14), makes a considerable figure in this genealogy. Kimchi observes that it is a tradition F17 that this Eliah is Elijah the prophet, who was of the seed of Rachel.
