1 Chronicles 9:35-44

9:35

Gibeon .... Gibeon <01391> [A.M. 2804, etc. B.C. 1200, etc. in Gibeon.]

father <01> [the father.]

wife <0802> [whose.]

Some editions read {achatho,} "his sister;" but in the parallel place ch. 8:29, it is {ishto,} "his wife," which is also the reading of the LXX., Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac here, and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin's genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.

9:36

Kish <07027> [Kish.]

9:37

Zechariah <02148> [Zechariah.]

Zacher is merely an abbreviation of Zechariah, by the omission of {Jah} or {Yah}, one of the names of God.

[Zacher.]

9:38

Shimeam <08043> [Shimeam.]

Shimeam seems to be a mistake for Shimeah; the only difference being [Mˆm,] {mem} final, and [Hˆ,] {hay}; and the LXX. in both places read [Samaa,] Sama„.

[Shimeah.]

9:39

Ner <05369> [Ner.]

Saul Saul <07586> [and Saul.]

[Ishui.]

Eshbaal <0792> [Eshbaal.]

9:40

Meribbaal <04807 04810> [Merib-baal.]

9:41

[Ahaz.]

9:42

father ... Jarah ... Jarah .... father .......... father <03205 03294> [begat Jarah.]

Jarah seems also to be a mistake for Jehoadah, as the LXX. read uniformly [\~Iada\~,] Iada.

[Jehoadah.]

9:43

Rephaiah <07509> [Rephaiah.]

Rapha is merely a contracted form of Rephaiah.

[Rapha.]
