Berean Study Bible
From the Zerahites
The term "Zerahites" refers to the descendants of Zerah, one of the sons of Judah. In the Hebrew context, Zerah (זֶרַח) means "rising" or "shining," which can symbolize hope and renewal. The Zerahites, as a clan within the tribe of Judah, held a significant place in Israel's history. Their mention here underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the chronicling of Israel's tribes. Historically, the Zerahites were known for their valor and contributions to the community, reflecting the broader theme of God's faithfulness to His promises through the generations.

Jeuel
Jeuel is a name that appears in the genealogical records, and while not much is known about him specifically, his inclusion signifies the importance of every individual in God's plan. The name Jeuel (יְעוּאֵל) can be interpreted as "God sweeps away" or "God is willing," which may suggest a divine purpose or calling. This highlights the belief that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, orchestrating events according to His will.

and 690 relatives
The specific number "690" indicates a precise accounting of the Zerahite family members who returned to Jerusalem. This meticulous record-keeping reflects the chronicler's intent to preserve the history and continuity of the Israelite community. In a broader sense, it emphasizes the theme of restoration and the fulfillment of God's promises to bring His people back to their land. The mention of "relatives" underscores the communal nature of Israelite society, where family and tribal connections were central to identity and survival. This serves as a reminder of the strength found in unity and the collective journey of faith.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(6) Of the sons of Zerah.--The Zarhites are omitted in the parallel passage of Nehemiah, where we read, instead of the present statement, that "all the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men." The common source of both the narratives must have contained information about the Zarhites. as well as their brother clansmen, the Parzites and Shelanites. We see from the verse before us that the Zarhites were more numerous in Jerusalem than the Parzites. The chronicler has again exercised his own discretion in the choice and rejection of details.

Jeuel, and their brethren.--The plural pronoun clearly hints that Jeuel is a Zarhite father-house or clan. The passage of Nehemiah just cited shows that six hundred and ninety is the total of the Zarhites only. The number of the Parzites and Shelanites is not here specified.

Pulpit Commentary
Verse 6. - No corresponding list whatever is found in Nehemiah, but in Nehemiah 11:24 mention is made of "Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah." Zeta was twin brother of Pharez (Genesis 38:30).
