George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:19

But, &c. Hebrew, "and Jetur, &c., ( 20 ) and they were helped by God against them." (Haydock) --- Septuagint, "they prevailed over them, and the Agarites," &c. The ancient, or higher Iturea, lay between Hermon and Manasses; but the lower, which Josephus includes under this name, took in the deserted possessions of that half tribe. (Calmet) --- The former (Haydock) extended from Jordan by Libanus, to the mountains of Tyre. (Menochius) --- And Naphis, sons of Ismael, Genesis xxv. 13.... read more

The Tribe of Reuben: 1 Chronicles 5:1-101 Chronicles 5:1.And the sons of Reuben, the first-born of Israel,—for he was the first-born; but, because he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of 2Joseph the son of Israel, though he was not to be registered as first-born. For Judah was mighty among his brethren, and of him was the prince; and Joseph 3had the birthright.—The sons of Reuben, the first-born of... 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

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

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.

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.
