1 Crônicas 5:26 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:18-26

The heads of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that were seated on the other side Jordan, are named here, 1 Chron. 5:23, 24. Their lot, at first, was Bashan only; but afterwards they increased so much in wealth and power that they spread far north, even unto Hermon. Two things only are here recorded concerning these tribes on the other side Jordan, in which they were all concerned. They all shared, I. In a glorious victory over the Hagarites, so the Ishmaelites were now called, to remind them that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:26

And the God of Israel ,.... The Targum is,"the word of the God of Israel:" stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria : in the times of Menahem king of Israel: and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser ; in the times of Pekah king of Israel, to invade the land, and make war in it: and he carried them away : not the former, but the latter: even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh ; these entirely together, with some other parts of the land, see 2 Kings... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 5:26

Tilgath-pilneser - Many MSS. have תגלת Tiglath instead of תלגת Tilgath . The Syriac, the Septuagint, and the Chaldee, have the same reading as in 2 Kings 15:29 , etc. Brought them unto Halah - See the notes on 2 Kings 17:6 ; (note), and 2 Kings 18:11 ; (note), for many particulars of these wars, and consequent captivity. It is a pity that some method were not found out to harmonize the books of Kings with the books of Chronicles, that the variations might be seen at... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:25-26

The "transgressors" here described include manifestly not this half-tribe Manasseh alone, but the other tribes of Israel of whom this chapter has treated. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:26

Pul and Tilgath-pilneser . These two were chosen ministers of God's will, if not ministers of himself. We can identify the date of this punishment which befell the transgressing Israelites east of the Jordan. The visit of the former, in the reign of Menahem ( 2 Kings 15:15-20 ), may be interpreted and might have operated as a lesson and a warning. He was bought off with a thousand talents of silver. It seems to be said with significance," So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 5:26

“Habor” here seems to be a city or a district, and not a river, as in marginal reference There is some reason to believe that districts among the Assyrians were occasionally named from streams.Hara is probably the same as “Haran” Genesis 11:31; 2 Kings 19:12; Ezekiel 27:23, being a softening down of the rugged original “Kharan.” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 5:26

1 Chronicles 5:26 . The God of Israel Who had been a husband to Israel, and whose jealousy burned like fire, when Israel went a whoring after other gods. Stirred up the spirit of Pul, king of Assyria, &c. That is, so governed his counsels and affections, that he brought his forces against this people rather than others. God served his own purposes by the designs of those ambitious monarchs, employed them first to chastise those revolters, and when that did not reduce them, wholly to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:1-26

The eastern tribes (5:1-26)At the beginning of this section, the writer gives the reason why he listed the genealogy of Judah before that of Reuben, the firstborn. Reuben had lost his rights as the firstborn (see Genesis 35:22), so the ruling power in Israel was given to Judah instead. The firstborn’s double portion of the inheritance went to Joseph, who received two tribes in Israel (Ephraim and Manasseh). The descendants of Reuben, along with those of Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh, dwelt... read more

1 Chronicles 5:26. Unto this day— And there they were unto this day. Houbigant. REFLECTIONS.—The half tribe of Manasseh is here mentioned, who with Reuben and Gad living together, separate from their brethren, by the river Jordan, were particularly associated together both in their victories and their captivity. 1. With an army of 44,760 chosen men, they invaded the Hagarites, and, trusting more in the blessing of God than the sword and spear, they prayed as they fought, and God gave them a... read more
