Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 7:1-40

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 7:3

1 Chronicles 7:3. All of them chief men— Heads of families. They are said to have been five. Four only are reckoned; the name of one is omitted.
