1 Chronicles 7:22

1Ch 7:22 And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him.

Ver. 22. And Ephraim their father. ] Who must needs be now a very old man.

Mourned many days. ] His grief was the greater, if they went against the Gittites without his consent, as many young men are headlong and headstrong, &c.

And his brethren came to comfort him. ] The Benjamites also set upon the men of Gath, and took their city from them. 1Ch 8:13 Atque sic ulti sunt fratres suos Ephraemitas.
