Reconciling the Genealogy
Commentators note an apparent discrepancy: verse 31 mentions Sheshan's child 'Ahlai,' while this verse says he had 'no sons, but daughters.' Scholars offer solutions: Ahlai may have been a daughter, a son who died without heirs, or the Chronicler may have been weaving together different historical source documents. This shows how careful study can reconcile textual difficulties.
