The sons of Nadab
This phrase introduces us to the lineage of Nadab, a descendant of Judah. In the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles, the chronicler meticulously traces the lineage of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the importance of heritage and God's covenant with His people. Nadab's inclusion in this genealogy underscores the significance of each family line in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. The Hebrew root for "sons" (בָּנִים, banim) often signifies not just biological offspring but also the continuation of a legacy or covenant promise.

Seled and Appaim
These names, though not widely known in the broader biblical narrative, are significant in the chronicler's detailed account. "Seled" (סֶלֶד) and "Appaim" (אֲפַיִם) are unique to this passage, and their mention highlights the chronicler's intent to preserve even the lesser-known branches of Judah's family tree. This reflects the biblical theme that every individual, regardless of their prominence, has a place in God's story. The names themselves, while not directly translatable, remind us of the personal nature of God's relationship with His people.

Seled died without children
This phrase is poignant, as it marks the end of a line within the genealogy. In the ancient Near Eastern context, dying without children was often seen as a tragedy, as it meant the cessation of one's family line and legacy. The Hebrew word for "died" (מֵת, met) is straightforward, but its implications are profound. It serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of faithfulness to God's promises, even when human plans falter. The chronicler's inclusion of this detail may also serve to highlight the sovereignty of God in the continuation of His covenant, as He often works through unexpected means and people to fulfill His purposes.

(30) Seled died without children.--That is, the clan Seled did not multiply, and subdivide into new groups. (Comp. 1Chronicles 2:32.)
