The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 5:1-10

The Posterity of Reuben v. 1. Now, the sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel, (for he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, in the matter of Bilha, his father's secondary wife, Genesis 35:22; Genesis 49:4, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel, Genesis 48:15-Song of Solomon :; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright; v. 2. for Judah prevailed above his brethren, being made the bearer of the Messianic promise,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 5:1-26

The worth principally attracting attention in this chapter are those connected with the name of Reuben. Here the ultimate light flames on the record: "the Prince," toward whose advent everything moves, is named. Yet He does not come through the line of birthright. The birthright was given to Joseph, while the Prince came through Judah. In this connection also the principle of divine selection flames out. The actual firstborn of the sons of Israel was Reuben, but he, through sin, forfeited the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 5:1-26

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 5:1

For he was the first-born: these and the following words 1 Chronicles 5:3, which are enclosed within a parenthesis, seem to be inserted here as an answer to a secret objection, or as a reason why Reuben’s genealogy was not set down first, but Judah’s was put before it, which is double; the first follows immediately, the other is in the last clause of this verse. His birthright, i.e. the right of the first-born, which, although it contain in it something of dominion, Genesis 27:1,Genesis 27:32,... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.] This ch. contains Reuben, Gad, and the half of Manasseh east of Jordan, with two episodes, one on the wars of these tribes, and the other on the removal by Tilgath-pilneser. The upper Assyrian monarchy began 1273 B.C., the lower 747 B.C. [Murphy].1 Chronicles 5:1-10.—Reuben lost his birthright. The priesthood given to Levi; the double portion (Deuteronomy 21:17) to Joseph, whose sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, reckoned as distinct tribes. Judah had supremacy, 1 Chronicles 5:2.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:1-26

Chapter 5Now in chapter five we get to the descendants of Reuben, who lost his birthright. It was given to the sons of Joseph, the son of Israel.And so his genealogy is not reckoned after the birthright ( 1 Chronicles 5:1 ).That genealogy after the birthright, of course, will come to Joseph.But Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the chief ruler or David; but the birthright was Joseph's ( 1 Chronicles 5:2 ):So even though the birthright was Joseph, the leadership was to come... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 5:1-26

1 Chronicles 5:19 . The Hagarites, that is, the Ishmaelites, who descended from Hagar’s son. 1 Chronicles 5:21 . Fifty thousand. The LXX read, five thousand. The ancient way of numbering by letters, instead of figures, occasioned these variations. 1 Chronicles 5:22 . The war of God. Great things in scripture are said to be of God; as the mount of God, the cedars of God, or a battle gained by the special providence of God. The two tribes and a half beyond the Jordan, though separated... read more

1 Chronicles 5:1-2Now the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel.Reuben’s rights transferred to JosephThis incident is worth dwelling upon, only because it elucidates a special phase of the Divine government. God is not bound by arbitrary laws. Primogeniture can be changed in the court of heaven. Conduct is the only absolute guarantee of real and enduring primogeniture. “Once in grace, always in grace,” may be a glorious truth, but everything depends upon what is meant by being “in grace.”... read more
