Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 8:29

THE FAMILIES OF GIBEON, ESPECIALLY THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 8:29-40).1 Chronicles 8:29-38 recur at 1 Chronicles 9:35-44.(29) At Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon.—His name (Jehiel) has been accidentally omitted. (See 1 Chronicles 9:35.) The verb dwelt is plural, “they dwelt;” a sufficient indication that the “father of Gibeon” merely represents the original population of that place under a collective name. Maachah would be a place in the neighbourhood.Gibeon.—Now el-Jib, about... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

6. Benjamin CHAPTER 8 1. The genealogies of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:1-28 ) 2. The house of Saul (1 Chronicles 8:29-40 ) In comparing this list with Genesis 46:21 we find some differences. The names of Benjamites include many who were born in the captivity and who returned to the land and dwelt in Jerusalem. Twice we read “those dwelt in Jerusalem” (verses 28, 32). Some of the names are found in the list of restored exiles in Ezra (chapter 2). Benjamin being brought back from the exile,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

GENEALOGIES AND PEDIGREES INTRODUCTION With this begins the study of those historical books of the Old Testament written shortly after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the remainder of the series including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther. “Chronicles” means “diaries” or “journal,” and the books recapitulate sacred history from the time of Adam, in which the earlier books of the Old Testament are drawn upon and occasionally supplemented. The Holy Spirit, who is the real... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

Valiant Men Ingratitude a Torrent of Names 1 Chronicles 7:1; 1 Chronicles 8:01 Chronicles 8:0 In these chapters we have summaries of the great clans of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, West Manasseh, Ephraim, Asher, the families of Gibeon, especially the royal house of Saul, with innumerable and collateral allusions. In 1Ch 7:2 of chapter 7 there is a sentence which presents an excellent family record "They were valiant men of might in their generations;" while the reference is to the sons of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:3-40

I see no cause for interruption in the catalogue of the Benjamites, from the beginning of the chapter to the end, and therefore have made none. One of two general observations are all that seem to present themselves from the whole, and therefore may as well be made in the close, as in the body of the chapter. The Reader of curiosity who compares this register of the Benjamites, with some other detached views of their Chronicles, as they are occasionally introduced in other parts of scripture,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:29

Dwelt. Literally, "they dwelt." But Hebrew and Septuagint, "in Gabaon, dwelt the father of Gaboan," (Haydock) who was called Jehiel, (chap. ix. 35.) or Abiel, 1 Kings ix. 1. (Calmet) --- The following verses are repeated in the next chapter, (Haydock) and seem to have been originally the same; though now many variations occur, which shew that "every Hebrew letter" has not been preserved. (Kennicott) read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 8:1-31

The Line of the Tribe of Benjamin v. 1. Now, Benjamin begat Bela, his firstborn, Ashbel, the second, and Aharah, the third, v. 2. Nohah, the fourth, and Rapha, the fifth. The fact that many names in the list following are different from those given by Moses is due either to the custom of having more than one name or to the use of the word "sons" in the wider sense, which includes grandsons and even descendants farther removed. v. 3. And the sons of Bela were Addar (or Ard), and Gera, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

This whole chapter constitutes a fuller account of the house of Benjamin. It seems to be a collection of names and very little more. Among them, however, after the name of the founder, Benjamin, two stand out conspicuously, Saul and Jonathan. They are almost buried among the rest, and yet most probably constitute the reason of this comparatively large section devoted to the genealogy of the house of Benjamin. As we have said more than once, the chief interest of the Book centers around David,... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). Genealogical Lists, together with Geographical and Historical Notes.— These chapters form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel ( 1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2)— with the exception of Cain’ s descendants ( Genesis 4:16-Song of Solomon :)— the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah ( 1 Chronicles 2:3-2 Timothy :); David ( 1 Chronicles 3:1-Jeremiah :); Judah... read more
