INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 7

In this chapter are given the genealogies of the tribes of Issachar 1 Chronicles 7:1 of Benjamin 1 Chronicles 7:6 Naphtali 1 Chronicles 7:13 of Manasseh 1 Chronicles 7:14 of Ephraim 1 Chronicles 7:20 and of Asher 1 Chronicles 7:30 even of the chief men of them; and their numbers are reckoned as in the times of David. The tribes of Dan and Zebulun are omitted.

 

1 Chronicles 7:1  The sons of Issachar were Tola Puah [a] Jashub and Shimron—four in all.

   YLT  1And sons of Issachar; Tola and Puah Jashub and Shimron four.

Now the sons of Issachar were Tola Puah Jashub and Shimron four. The same number is given Genesis 46:13 with a small variation of two of their names there called Phuvah and Job from whence so many families sprang mentioned Numbers 26:23 where the names are the same as here.

 

1 Chronicles 7:2  2 The sons of Tola were Uzzi Rephaiah Jeriel Jahmai Jibsam and Shemuel heads of their father’s house. The sons of Tola were mighty men of valor in their generations; their number in the days of David was twenty-two thousand six hundred.

   YLT  2And sons of Tola: Uzzi and Rephaiah and Jeriel and Jahmai and Jibsam and Shemuel heads of the house of their fathers [even] of Tola mighty of valour in their generations: their number in the days of David [is] twenty and two thousand and six hundred.

And the sons of Tola .... The eldest son of Issachar whose posterity are only reckoned by name:

Uzzi and Rephaiah and Jeriel and Jahmai and Jibsam and Shemuel heads of their father's house to wit of Tola; the principal man of his family:

they were valiant men of might in their generations famous for their courage and military exploits though they sprang from Tola whose name signifies "a worm"; and which name BochartF11Hierozoic. par. 2. l. 4. c. 21. col. 630. conjectures was given him by his parents because he was so weakly that they had no hopes of raising him; and yet from him sprung such mighty men and from them such a numerous race as follows:

whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred; besides those of the posterity of Uzzi after mentioned. This was at the time Joab took the number of Israel by the order of David 1 Chronicles 21:5.

 

1 Chronicles 7:3  3 The son of Uzzi was Izrahiah and the sons of Izrahiah were Michael Obadiah Joel and Ishiah. All five of them were chief men.

   YLT  3And sons of Uzzi: Izrahiah; and sons of Izrahiah: Michael and Obadiah and Joel Ishiah Hamishah -- all of them heads.

And the sons of Uzzi; Izrahiah .... Including his posterity:

and the sons of Izrahiah; Michael and Obadiah and Joel Ishiah five; together with their father all reckoned the sons of Uzzi:

all of them chief men; in their father's house heads of families.

 

1 Chronicles 7:4  4 And with them by their generations according to their fathers’ houses were thirty-six thousand troops ready for war; for they had many wives and sons.

   YLT  4And beside them by their generations of the house of their fathers [are] troops of the host of battle thirty and six thousand for they multiplied wives and sons;

And with them by their generations after the house of their fathers were bands of soldiers for war .... Companies of men of military courage and skill who could and did go out to war upon occasion:

six and thirty thousand men; besides the 22 600 Tolaites 1 Chronicles 7:2

for they had many wives and sons; having many wives they had many sons; polygamy was the cause of their large numbers; and that they gave into for the sake of the multiplication of Abraham's seed according to the divine promise.

 

1 Chronicles 7:5  5 Now their brethren among all the families of Issachar were mighty men of valor listed by their genealogies eighty-seven thousand in all.

  YLT  5and their brethren of all the families of Issachar [are] mighty of valour eighty and seven thousand all have their genealogy.

And their brethren among all the families of Issachar .... As those of Puah Jashub and Shimron 1 Chronicles 7:1.

were men of might; valiant and courageous:

reckoned in all by their genealogies fourscore and seven thousand; that is including with these those of Tola and Uzzi before given.

 

1 Chronicles 7:6  6 The sons of Benjamin were Bela Becher and Jediael—three in all.

   YLT  6Of Benjamin: Bela and Becher and Jediael three.

The sons of Benjamin; Bela and Becher and Jediael three. Benjamin had ten sons but three only are mentioned first; the latter of these seems to be the same with Ashbel Genesis 46:21.

 

1 Chronicles 7:7  7 The sons of Bela were Ezbon Uzzi Uzziel Jerimoth and Iri—five in all. They were heads of their fathers’ houses and they were listed by their genealogies twenty-two thousand and thirty-four mighty men of valor.

   YLT  7And sons of Bela: Ezbon and Uzzi and Uzziel and Jerimoth and Iri five; heads of a house of fathers mighty of valour with their genealogy twenty and two thousand and thirty and four.

And the sons of Bela; Ezbon and Uzzi and Uzziel and Jerimoth and Iri five .... These are thought by some to be the grandsons of Bela because of the different names in 1 Chronicles 8:3

heads of the house of their fathers mighty men of valour; principal men in their tribe and families and of great courage:

and were reckoned by their genealogies twenty and two thousand and thirty and four; who sprung from these men.

 

1 Chronicles 7:8  8 The sons of Becher were Zemirah Joash Eliezer Elioenai Omri Jerimoth Abijah Anathoth and Alemeth. All these are the sons of Becher.

   YLT  8And sons of Becher: Zemirah and Joash and Eliezar and Elioenai and Omri and Jerimoth and Abijah and Anathoth and Alameth. All these [are] sons of Becher

And the sons of Becher .... Another son of Benjamin 1 Chronicles 7:6

Zemira and Joash and Eliezer and Elioenai and Omri and Jerimoth and Abiah and Anathoth and Alameth; the two last of these according to Kimchi gave names to two cities in Benjamin built by them; Anathoth the native place of Jeremiah the prophet and Alameth the same with Bahurim 2 Samuel 16:5.

all these are the sons of Becher; before named.

 

1 Chronicles 7:9  9 And they were recorded by genealogy according to their generations heads of their fathers’ houses twenty thousand two hundred mighty men of valor.

   YLT  9with their genealogy after their generations heads of a house of their fathers mighty of valour twenty thousand and two hundred.

And the number of them .... Of the posterity of the sons of Becher:

after their genealogy by their generations heads of the house of their fathers mighty men of valour; as they increased in succeeding ages and at the time of David:

was twenty thousand and two hundred.

 

1 Chronicles 7:10  10 The son of Jediael was Bilhan and the sons of Bilhan were Jeush Benjamin Ehud Chenaanah Zethan Tharshish and Ahishahar.

   YLT  10And sons of Jediael: Bilhan; and sons of Bilhan: Jeush and Benjamin and Ehud and Chenaanah and Zethan and Tarshish and Ahishahar.

The sons also of Jediael .... The third son of Benjamin before mentioned 1 Chronicles 7:6. Bilhan including his posterity as follows:

and the sons of Bilhan; Jeush and Benjamin; called so after his great grandfather:

and Ehud; who was the second judge in Israel Judges 3:15.

and Chenaanah and Zethan and Tharshish and Ahishahar; of whom we nowhere else read.

 

1 Chronicles 7:11  11 All these sons of Jediael were heads of their fathers’ houses; there were seventeen thousand two hundred mighty men of valor fit to go out for war and battle.

   YLT  11All these [are] sons of Jediael even heads of the fathers mighty in valour seventeen thousand and two hundred going out to the host for battle.

All these the sons of Jediael by the heads of their fathers mighty men of valour were seventeen thousand and two hundred soldiers fit to go out for war and battle. Which with the above sums put together make of the tribe of Benjamin besides what follow 59 430; who if numbered by Joab the account was not given in by him 1 Chronicles 21:6.

 

1 Chronicles 7:12  12 Shuppim and Huppim[b] were the sons of Ir and Hushim was the son of Aher.

   YLT  12And Shuppim and Huppim [are] sons of Ir; Hushim son of Aher.

Shuppim also and Huppim the children of Ir .... The same with Iri 1 Chronicles 7:7 so that these were not sons of Benjamin as they seem to be if they are the same with Muppim and Huppim in Genesis 46:21 but his great-grandchildren and are the same with Shupham and Hupham from whom families of the tribe of Benjamin sprung Numbers 26:39 the Targum calls them the inhabitants of a city but of what is not said unless Geba should be meant 1 Chronicles 8:6 and

Hushim the sons of Aher: either the same with Aharah the third son of Benjamin 1 Chronicles 8:1 or Ahiram Numbers 26:38 though some read the words "the sons of another"; whom they suppose to be Dan who otherwise is omitted; and Hushim is the only son of Dan Genesis 46:23 where the same plural word is used as here; who they think is called another by way of detestation that tribe being guilty of gross idolatry; but he rather seems to belong to Benjamin.

 

1 Chronicles 7:13  13 The sons of Naphtali were Jahziel [c] Guni Jezer and Shallum [d] the sons of Bilhah.

   YLT  13Sons of Naphtali: Jahziel and Guni and Jezer and Shallum sons of Bilhah.

The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel and Guni and Jezer and Shallum .... Called Shillem Genesis 46:24

the sons of Bilhah; Jacob's concubine; her grandsons; for Naphtali the father of them was her son; from these sprung so many families after their names Numbers 26:48.

 

1 Chronicles 7:14  14 The descendants of Manasseh: his Syrian concubine bore him Machir the father of Gilead the father of Asriel.[e]

   YLT  14Sons of Manasseh: Ashriel whom Jaladah his Aramaean concubine bare with Machir father of Gilead.

The sons of Manasseh; Ashriel whom she bare .... The wife of Manasseh as distinguished from his concubine in the next clause; though the Targum reads in connection with that "whom his Aramitess (or Syrian) concubine bare;'

and then adds:

who also bare Machir the father of Gilead; so that Ashriel and Machir were brethren; from which Ashriel sprung the family of the Ashrielites Numbers 26:29 as from Machir the Machirites Numbers 26:29.

 

1 Chronicles 7:15  15 Machir took as his wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim [f] whose name was Maachah. The name of Gilead’s grandson[g] was Zelophehad [h] but Zelophehad begot only daughters.

   YLT  15And Machir took wives for Huppim and for Shuppim and the name of the one [is] Maachah and the name of the second Zelophehad and Zelophehad hath daughters.

And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim whose sister's name was Maachah .... He married into the tribe of Benjamin a sister of the persons mentioned 1 Chronicles 7:12 whose name was Maachah:

and the name of the second was Zelophehad; the second son of Manasseh or of his posterity mentioned; for he was not his immediate son; for he was the son of Hepher the son of Gilead the son of Machir the son of Manasseh Numbers 27:1.

and Zelophehad had daughters; but no sons the names of his daughters are given Numbers 26:33.

 

1 Chronicles 7:16  16 (Maachah the wife of Machir bore a son and she called his name Peresh. The name of his brother was Sheresh and his sons were Ulam and Rakem.

   YLT  16And Maachah wife of Machir beareth a son and calleth his name Peresh and the name of his brother [is] Sheresh and his sons [are] Ulam and Rakem.

And Maachah the wife of Machir bare a son and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh .... He had both these sons by her:

and his sons were Ulam and Rakem that is either the sons of Peresh or Sheresh the nearest as Kimchi observes.

 

1 Chronicles 7:17  17 The son of Ulam was Bedan.) These were the descendants of Gilead the son of Machir the son of Manasseh.

   YLT  17And son of Ulam: Bedan. These [are] sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh.

And the sons of Ulam: Bedan .... See 1 Samuel 12:11.

these were the sons of Gilead the son of Machir the son of Manasseh; that is were of his posterity or belonged to his family; for Ulam and Rakem were sons of a brother of Gilead 1 Chronicles 7:16.

 

1 Chronicles 7:18  18 His sister Hammoleketh bore Ishhod Abiezer and Mahlah.

   YLT  18And his sister Hammolecheth bare Ishhod and Abiezer and Mahalah.

And his sister Hammoleketh .... The sister of Gilead so named; though the Targum renders it "that reigned"; and so Kimchi that reigned in some part of Gilead; and the Vulgate Latin version translates it "a queen bare Ishod and Abiezer and Mahalah"; Abiezer is the same with Jeezer from whom a family sprung of that name Numbers 26:30 of which Gideon was Judges 6:11.

 

1 Chronicles 7:19  19 And the sons of Shemida were Ahian Shechem Likhi and Aniam.

   YLT  19And the sons of Shemida are Ahian and Shechem and Likhi and Aniam.

And the sons of Shemida .... Another son of Gilead's sister unless the same with Ishod; from him sprung the family of the Shemidaites Numbers 26:30.

were Ahian and Shechem and Likhi and Aniam; from Shechem came the family of the Shethemites as from Likhi if he is the same with Helek as probably he may be was the family of the Helekites Numbers 26:30.

 

1 Chronicles 7:20  20 The sons of Ephraim were Shuthelah Bered his son Tahath his son Eladah his son Tahath his son

   YLT  20And sons of Ephraim: Shuthelah and Bered his son and Tahath his son and Eladah his son and Tahath his son

And the sons of Ephraim .... A son of Joseph and father of a tribe of this name whose genealogy through five generations follows: Shuthelah Bered Tahath Eladah Tahath; the second.

 

1 Chronicles 7:21  21 Zabad his son Shuthelah his son and Ezer and Elead. The men of Gath who were born in that land killed them because they came down to take away their cattle.

   YLT  21and Zabad his son and Shuthelah his son and Ezer and Elead; and slain them have men of Gath who are born in the land because they came down to take their cattle.

And Zabad his son .... Not the son of Tahath the second last mentioned but the son of Ephraim a second son of his:

and Shuthelah; his son the son of Zabad called after his uncle's name 1 Chronicles 7:20.

and Ezer and Elead; two other sons of Zabad:

whom the men of Gath that were born in that land slew: that is Zabad and his three sons; these the men of Gath slew who were Philistines that dwelt there and were originally of Egypt and were born in that land but had removed into Palestine which had its name from them of which Gath was one of its cities; and this bordering upon the land of Goshen or being near it where the Israelites dwelt they made inroads upon them and plundered them:

because they came down to take away their cattle; and the sons the grandsons of Ephraim resisted them and so were slain: and that the aggressors were not the Ephraimites who went out of Egypt before their time and fell upon the men of Gath born in the land of the Philistines in order to dispossess them of their land and substance and were slain by them which is the sense of the Targum and other writers both Jewish and Christian; but the men of Gath as is clear from this circumstance that they

came down as men did when they went from Palestine to Egypt not when they went from Egypt to Palestine then they "went up"; which would have been the phrase used if this had been an expedition of the Ephraimites into Palestine; besides it is not reasonable to think that the Ephraimites addicted to husbandry and cattle and not used to war should engage in such an enterprise; but rather the men of Gath or the Philistines who were a warlike people and given to spoil and plunder; this according to a learned chronologerF12Nic. Abrami Pharus l. 9. c. 21. p. 242. was seventy four years after Jacob went down to Egypt and one hundred and forty years before the children of Israel came from thence.

 

1 Chronicles 7:22  22 Then Ephraim their father mourned many days and his brethren came to comfort him.

   YLT  22And Ephraim their father mourneth many days and his brethren come in to comfort him

And Ephraim their father mourned many days .... For the loss of his son and grandchildren for the above fact was done while the Israelites were in Egypt and Ephraim the patriarch yet alive; nor is there any need to suppose another Ephraim different from him:

and his brethren came to comfort him; some of the heads of the other tribes of Israel particularly Manasseh with some of his family.

 

1 Chronicles 7:23  23 And when he went in to his wife she conceived and bore a son; and he called his name Beriah [i] because tragedy had come upon his house.

   YLT  23and he goeth in unto his wife and she conceiveth and beareth a son and he calleth his name Beriah because in evil had been his house --

And when he went in to his wife .... After his grief and sorrow in part at least had subsided:

she conceived and bare a son; which in some measure made up for the loss he had sustained:

and he called his name Beriah; which signifies being "in evil" or calamity he being born in an evil time:

because it went evil with his house; or evil was in his house as NoldiusF13Ebr. Concord. Part. No. 750. p. 165. in his family; a great calamity had befallen it.

 

1 Chronicles 7:24  24 Now his daughter was Sheerah who built Lower and Upper Beth Horon and Uzzen Sheerah;

   YLT  24and his daughter [is] Sherah and she buildeth Beth-Horon the lower and the upper and Uzzen-Sherah –

And his daughter was Sherah .... That is the daughter of Beriah; not an immediate daughter but a descendant of his otherwise she could not have reached the times of Joshua as she did by what follows:

who built Bethhoron the nether and the upper; which were cities on the border of the tribe of Ephraim; which the Israelites having taken from the Canaanites and destroyed she rebuilt see Joshua 16:3.

and Uzzensherah; which was called after her own name and to distinguish it from another place called Uzzen; though of neither of them do we read elsewhere.

 

1 Chronicles 7:25  25 and Rephah was his son as well as Resheph and Telah his son Tahan his son

   YLT  25and Rephah [is] his son and Resheph and Telah his son and Tahan his son

Verses 25-27

And Rephah was his son .... The son of Beriah whose genealogy from him is traced down to Joshua in this and the two following verses and stands thus: after Rephah Resheph Telah Tahan Laadan Ammihud Elishama who was prince of the tribe of Ephraim in the wilderness Numbers 1:10 then Non or Nun whose son was Jehoshua or Joshua.

 

1 Chronicles 7:26  26 Laadan his son Ammihud his son Elishama his son

   YLT  26Laadan his son Ammihud his son Elishama his son

 

1 Chronicles 7:27  27 Nun[j] his son and Joshua his son.

   YLT  27Non his son Jehoshua his son.

 

1 Chronicles 7:28  28 Now their possessions and dwelling places were Bethel and its towns: to the east Naaran to the west Gezer and its towns and Shechem and its towns as far as Ayyah[k] and its towns;

   YLT  28And their possession and their dwellings [are] Beth-El and its small towns and to the east Naaran and to the west Gezer and its small towns and Shechem and its small towns unto Gaza and its small towns;

And their possessions and habitations .... That is of the sons of Ephraim when come into the land of Canaan:

were Bethel and the towns thereof; the villages belonging to it which was formerly called Luz and was the border of Ephraim Joshua 16:7.

and eastward Naaran: the same with Naarath Joshua 16:7.

and westward Gezer with the towns thereof; of which see Joshua 16:3

and Shechem also and the towns thereof; which was a city of refuge in Mount Ephraim Joshua 20:7

unto Gaza and the towns thereof; not Gaza a city of the Philistines for the tribe of Ephraim did not reach so far; the Targum calls it Aiah; it may be read Adaza as in the margin of our Bibles.

 

1 Chronicles 7:29  29 and by the borders of the children of Manasseh were Beth Shean and its towns Taanach and its towns Megiddo and its towns Dor and its towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel.

   YLT  29and by the parts of the sons of Manasseh Beth-Shean and its small towns Taanach and its small towns Megiddo and its small towns Dor and its small towns; in these dwelt the sons of Joseph son of Israel.

And by the borders of the children of Manasseh .... Of the half tribe of Manasseh on this side Jordan: near to them the Ephraimites dwelt even near to

Bethshean and her towns Taanach and her towns Megiddo and her towns Dor and her towns; of all which places see Joshua 17:11

in these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel; the Ephraimites in those mentioned in 1 Chronicles 7:28 and the Manassites in those that are here mentioned; who were both the children or posterity of Joseph the beloved son of Israel.

 

1 Chronicles 7:30  30 The sons of Asher were Imnah Ishvah Ishvi Beriah and their sister Serah.

   YLT  30Son of Asher: Imnah and Ishve and Ishvi and Beriah and Serah their sister.

Verse 30-31

The son of Asher .... Which and his two grandsons born before Jacob went down to Egypt are here reckoned as in Genesis 46:17 only it is here added Malchiel his second grandson:

who is the father of Birzavith; which Jarchi interprets prince of a city of this name which signifies pure oil; which it might have from the abundance of olives about it Asher being a tribe which abounded with them see Deuteronomy 33:24 though some of the Rabbins take it to be the name of a man whose daughters they say as Jarchi observes were very beautiful having much oil to anoint with and were married to kings and priests anointed with oil.

 

1 Chronicles 7:31  31 The sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel who was the father of Birzaith.[l]

   YLT  31And sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel -- he [is] father of Birzavith.

 

1 Chronicles 7:32  32 And Heber begot Japhlet Shomer [m] Hotham [n] and their sister Shua.

   YLT  32And Heber begat Japhlet and Shomer and Hotham and Shua their sister.

And Heber .... The other grandson of Asher; and son of Beriah:

begat Japhlet and Shomer and Hotham and Shuah their sister; a place on the borders of Ephraim is called the coast of Japhleti; but whether from this Japhlet is uncertain.

 

1 Chronicles 7:33  33 The sons of Japhlet were Pasach Bimhal and Ashvath. These were the children of Japhlet.

   YLT  33And sons of Japhlet: Pasach and Bimhal and Ashvath; these [are] sons of Japhlet.

And the sons of Japhlet; Pasach and Bimhal and Ashvath; these are the children of Japhlet. Of whom we read not elsewhere

 

1 Chronicles 7:34  34 The sons of Shemer were Ahi Rohgah Jehubbah and Aram.

   YLT  34and sons of Shamer: Ahi and Rohgah Jehubbah and Aram.

And the sons of Shamer .... Or Shomer the brother of Japhlet 1 Chronicles 7:32.

Ahi and Rohgah Jehubbah and Aram; of whom nothing is known but their names.

 

1 Chronicles 7:35  35 And the sons of his brother Helem were Zophah Imna Shelesh and Amal.

   YLT  35And son of Helem his brother: Zophah and Imna and Shelesh and Amal.

And the sons of his brother Helem .... Or Helem his brother that is the brother of Shomer who according to HillerusF14Onomastic. Sacr. p. 551. is Hotham 1 Chronicles 7:32.

Zophah and Imna and Shelesh and Aram; nowhere else mentioned.

 

1 Chronicles 7:36  36 The sons of Zophah were Suah Harnepher Shual Beri Imrah

   YLT  36Sons of Zophah: Suah and Harnepher and Shual and Beri and Imrah

Verse 36-37

And the sons of Zophah .... The eldest of the sons of Helem:

Suah and Harnepher and Shual and Beri and Imrah Bezer; and Hod and Shamma and Shilshah and Ithran and Beera; in all eleven.

 

1 Chronicles 7:37  37 Bezer Hod Shamma Shilshah Jithran [o] and Beera.

   YLT  37Bezer and Hod and Shamma and Shilshah and Ithran and Beera.

 

1 Chronicles 7:38  38 The sons of Jether were Jephunneh Pispah and Ara.

   YLT  38And sons of Jether: Jephunneh and Pispah and Ara.

And the sons of Jether .... The same with Ithran the last of Zophah's sons but one 1 Chronicles 7:37

Jephunneh and Pispah and Ara; not Jephunneh the father of Caleb; he was not of the tribe of Asher but of Judah.

 

1 Chronicles 7:39  39 The sons of Ulla were Arah Haniel and Rizia.

   YLT  39And sons of Ulla: Arah and Hanniel and Rezia.

And the sons of Ulla .... Who either was the son of Ara last mentioned or another son of Jether:

Arah and Haniel and Rezia; here ends the genealogy of Asher; the last of the tribes; Dan and Zebulun not being reckoned at all.

 

1 Chronicles 7:40  40 All these were the children of Asher heads of their fathers’ houses choice men mighty men of valor chief leaders. And they were recorded by genealogies among the army fit for battle; their number was twenty-six thousand.

   YLT  40All these [are] sons of Asher heads of the house of the fathers chosen ones mighty in valour heads of the princes with their genealogy for the host for battle their number [is] twenty and six thousand men.

All these were the children of Asher heads of their father's house .... Principal men in their tribe and respective families:

choice and mighty men of valour; these were some selected from others being eminent for their courage and valour:

chief of the princes; or chief princes; the Vulgate Latin version is dukes of dukes they were heads of their fathers' families:

and the number throughout the genealogy that were apt to war and to battle was twenty and six thousand men; that is in the days of David 1 Chronicles 7:4 this was the number not of their chief men nor of all the people in the tribe but of their militia.
