Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1-32

There is little or nothing of history in all these verses; we have not therefore much to observe. 1. As to the difficulties that occur in this and the foregoing genealogies we need not perplex ourselves. I presume Ezra took them as he found them in the books of the kings of Israel and Judah (1 Chron. 9:1), according as they were given in by the several tribes, each observing what method they thought fit. Hence some ascend, others desecnd; some have numbers affixed, others places; some have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:6

And these are the sons of Ehud ,.... Not he that was a judge in Israel, Judges 3:15 but perhaps a son of Huram the last mentioned; for not the three last are his sons, as some think, but the three following in the next verse; what follows being to be read in a parenthesis: (these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba;) a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:24 namely, those sons of Ehud, after mentioned, were principal men in that tribe, and chief of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:6-7

Ehud . We are brought to a halt again by the sudden introduction of this name. Even if it stand for Abihud ( 1 Chronicles 8:3 ) or for Ahoah ( 1 Chronicles 8:4 ), why is it changed in so short an interval? It is impossible to establish order in these verses except by most gratuitous conjecture. But it may be supposed that the verses say that Ehud's people once belonged to Manahath , that the heads of them removed them to Geba ( Joshua 18:24 ), and that he himself (query, Ehud?... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:6

And they removed them to Manahath - “They” has no antecedent; and it is difficult to supply one. Almost all commentators suppose that there has been some corruption here, from which, however, we may gather that the “sons of Ehud” (or, perhaps, of Ahoah, 1 Chronicles 8:4) were originally settled at Geba (Joshua 18:24 note), but afterward removed to a place called Manahath, probably a town in the vicinity. Gera 1 Chronicles 8:7 directed the movement. read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 8:6

1 Chronicles 8:6. These are the sons of Ehud These following, 1 Chronicles 8:7, because he here speaks of them who were removed. He describes the sons of Benjamin by the places of their habitation, without an exact account of their parents; because their genealogies were broken by that almost total extirpation of this tribe, Judges 20:0. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

Genealogies of the remaining tribes (7:1-8:40)Although the lists here are incomplete and in places difficult to follow, it seems that the tribes dealt with are Issachar (7:1-5), parts of Benjamin and Dan (6-12), Naphtali (13), the portion of Manasseh not listed earlier (14-19; cf. 5:23-24), Ephraim (20-29) and Asher (30-40).Benjamin is given in greater detail, possibly because it included Jerusalem in its tribal territory. Also this was the only tribe that joined Judah in the southern kingdom,... read more

these are the: or, "and these are they the". Geba. Near Gibeah of Saul (Joshua 18:24 . 1 Samuel 10:26 ; 1 Samuel 13:3 ). Compare Judges 19:12 . and. Read: "but they were carried away to Mana-hath". they (the Gebaites) removed = were carried away, (same word as in 1 Chronicles 5:26 ). The occasion is not known, but probably after they returned from captivity, as Geba is mentioned in Ezra 2:26 . Lod and Ono in 1 Chronicles 8:12 are named in Ezra 2:33 , and "the sons of Gibeon" in Nehemiah... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:6

6. these are the sons of Ehud—most probably the judge of Israel ( :-). His descendants, who had at first been established in Geba in Benjamin, emigrated in a body under the direction of Gera ( :-) to Manahath, where their increased numbers would find more ample accommodation. Manahath was within the territory of Judah. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 8:1-44

C. The Lineage of Saul chs. 8-9This list obviously parallels to some extent David’s genealogy (chs. 1-3). Saul came from the tribe of Benjamin, not from the tribe of Judah that God had promised leadership of the nation. One reason the writer had an interest in the tribe of Benjamin (ch. 8) was that it was the only tribe other than Judah to remain loyal to the Davidic line. The tribe of Benjamin "ranked second only to Judah in postexilic society." [Note: Payne, "1, 2 Chronicles," p. 360.]... read more

Genealogies (continued)This chapter contains a second account of the descendants of Benjamin, and traces the ancestors and descendants of Saul.1. Now Benjamin, etc.] The names of Benjamin’s descendants are repeated (with some variants) from 1 Chronicles 7:7., in order to lead up to the mention of Saul (1 Chronicles 8:33), the predecessor of David (1 Chronicles 10:14), whose history forms the chief subject of this book.3.
