Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1-2

Wherefore the sacred writer had it in commission, to re-assume the subject of the genealogy of Benjamin in this chapter, and to employ a whole chapter in it, I cannot presume to speak. But it is worthy of remark, that after we had gone through the register of the Benjamites, nearly equal in point of length to that of some other of the tribes of Israel, that we should be called to it again. Perhaps, as the numeration of the different tribes is now nearly finished, and we are approaching to the... read more

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'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

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). Genealogical Lists, together with Geographical and Historical Notes.— These chapters form a general introduction to the whole work.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 8:1

He had spoken something of the tribe of Benjamin before, 1 Chronicles 7:6, but now he treats of it again, and that more, fully and exactly; partly for Saul’s sake, who was of this tribe; and partly because this tribe adhered to David and the kingdom of Judah, and went with Judah into Babylon; and now were returned from thence in greater numbers than the other tribes, except Judah. Bela; so called by Moses: but the names of the rest vary from those in Moses; either because the same person had... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1-40

CRITICAL NOTES.] Benjamin, son of Bilhan (1 Chronicles 7:10), great-grandson of son of Jacob. Posterity given on account of history of Saul. This tribe remained faithful during the revolt of the ten, and returned with Judah from Babylon.1 Chronicles 8:3-5.—The nine sons of this Bela are all different in name from the five sons of the earlier Bela (1 Chronicles 7:7). The names Gera, Naaman, and Shephuphan (Numbers 26:39) are heirlooms from the household of the former Benjamin (Judges 3:15)... read more
