50 And when Baal-Hanan died, Hadad [1] reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pai. [2] His wife's name was Mehetabel the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:50

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:28-54

(Read 1 Chronicles 1:28-54)

The genealogy is from hence confined to the posterity of Abraham. Let us take occasion from reading these lists of names, to think of the multitudes that have gone through this world, have done their parts in it, and then quitted it. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes. Ecclesiastes 1:4; Numbers 32:14, and will do so while the earth remains. Short is our passage through time into eternity. May we be distinguished as the Lord's people.
