Proselyte

[1 Chron. 2:35] And Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife; and she bare him Attai.
Sheshan gave his daughter to Jarha his servant to wife – having no sons, gave his daughter in marriage to Jarha, his Egyptian servant. The name of this Gentile slave is recorded because he was a worthy man. It is thought that Zabad the son of Ahlai in the list of David’s mighty men might be Zabad, the great-grandson of Sheshan’s daughter Ahlai and her husband Jarha. If the chronicles
G-d keeps on earth are this intricate; imagine what incredible details must be found in the Lamb’s Book of Life!
The adoption and marriage of a foreign slave in the family where he is serving, is far from being a rare or extraordinary occurrence in Eastern countries. It is thought, however, by some to have been a connection not sanctioned by the Law of Moses. But this is not a well-founded objection, as the history of the Jews furnishes not a few examples of foreign proselytes in the same manner obtaining an inheritance in Israel; and doubtless Jarha had previously embraced the Jewish faith in place of the groveling idolatries of his native Egypt. In such a case, therefore, there could be no legal difficulty. Being a foreign slave, he had no inheritance in a different tribe to injure by this connection; while his marriage with Sheshan's daughter led to his adoption into the tribe of Judah, as well as his becoming heir of the family property. Probably he was not only a proselyte, but also a well-known man: else an Israelite would not have given him his only daughter.
