1 Chronicles 4:1The sons of Judah: Perez, Hezron, and Carmi, and Hur, and Shobal.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~400 BC. A chronicler traces Judah's descendants, the royal tribe from which kings come, in modern-day Israel...
The emotion here: reverent pride in recording the royal lineage's survival
The original word
Yehudah (יְהוּדָה) — praise, the tribe from which Messiah would come
Why it matters
Judah's line survived when the northern 10 tribes were lost to Assyrian conquest in 722 BC
