Exegesis
The coordinating conjunction ve- {וְ | wə} links Onan and Shelah {אוֹנָן וְשֵׁלָה | ’ō-nān wə-še-lāh}, forming a tricolon.
In context — 1 Chronicles 2:3
The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three were born to him by the daughter of Shua, the Canaanite. Now Er, Judah’s firstborn , was evil in the eyes of the LORD , and He put him to death.
