VERSE 28 - firstborn. * 1Ch 5:1 Le 27:26 Ge 14:20 Here there is an ellipsis of the name of the firstborn, which the margin correctly supplies as Joel. The word {Vashni} when otherwise pointed means "second," so that the verse more properly reads "And the sons of Samuel; the firstborn (Joel) and the second Abiah." - Vashni. i.e., Jah is strong; wherefore, sleep thou; changed; my year; second; liberal gift of the Lord. <\\S#2059h\\>. It appears that the Joel is here lost out of the text; and that {washni,} which signifies "and the second," and which refers to Abiah, is made into a proper name. The Syriac and Arabic read as in Samuel. The marginal references contain the variation in the names given to the same persons, in different parts of sacred history, as far as it can be ascertained; and nearly the whole, that is at present known concerning them, may be learned by carefully consulting them. * :33 1Sa 8:2 - Joel. VERSE 29 - Mahli. * :19 Nu 3:33 VERSE 30 - Haggiah. i.e., festival of Jah. <\\S#2293h\\>. Asaiah. * 2Ch 34:20 VERSE 31 - A.M. 2962.

It may be due to an early corruption of the text; or, if the text is correct, to a difference of mother, the two boys being half-brothers (Compare the Herods). It cannot be explained by the theory that the younger was named after a deceased elder brother, for the two seem to have been alive together and to have been put to death at the same time (Davis). - (8) A man of Judah, family of Hezron, house of Jerahmeel. * 1Ch 2:38,39 His grandfather was Obed (1 Ch 38 2:38); hence he was perhaps the captain Azariah, son of Obed, who assisted in overthrowing Athaliah and placing Joash on the throne, 2 Ch 1 23:1. - (9) Another captain, son of Jeroham, who aided in overthrowing Athaliah. * 2Ch 23:1 - (10) A prince of Ephraim, son of Johanan, who aided in persuading the soldiers of Pekah's army to release the captives of Judah. * 2Ch 28:12 - (11) A king of Judah, called also Uzziah (B.C. 811-759). * 2Ch 22:6; 23:1 2Ki 14:21; 15:1 - Compare with. * 2Ch 26:1 - (12) A high priest, 1 Ch 10 6:10; probably he who rebuked Uzziah for encroaching on the priest's office. * 2Ch 26:17-20 - (13) A high priest during Hezekiah's reign, possibly the same as (12). * 2Ch 31:10,13 - (14) A Levite, family of Merari, who assisted in purifying the temple in Hezekiah's reign. * 2Ch 29:12 - (15) A high priest, son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, not long before the exile. * :13,14; 9:11 - (16) A son of Hoshaiah and an opponent of the prophet Jeremiah. * Jer 43:2 - (17) The Hebrew and original name of Abednego. * Da 1:7 - (18) Grandfather of Ezra. * Ezr 7:1 - (19) A prominent person, probably prince of Judah, who marched in the procession at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. * Ne 12:32,33 - (20) A son of Maaseiah, who had a house at Jerusalem in Nehemiah's time, and repaired the wall in its immediate vicinity. * Ne 3:23,24 - (21) A priest, doubtless head of a father's house, who in the days of Nehemiah sealed the covenant to keep separate from foreigners and observe the law of God. * Ne 10:2 - (22) A descendant of Hilkiah who was ruler of the house of God after the exile. * 1Ch 9:11 - see however, Seraiah. * Ne 11:11 - (23) A king of Israel (not Uzziah), called Azariah in which is given in the next verse. * 2Ch 22:6,7 - compare to. * 2Ki 8:29 - (adapted from Davis Dictionary of the Bible, pp: 66, 67). - Zephaniah. * Zep 1:1 While it is sufficiently evident that many of the variations of the names of persons have arisen from the carelessness of transcribers, or the inattention of translators, and others from a difference (probably dialectical) in the pronunciation (Jud 12:6; 2 Ki 21 8:21); it is also evident, that the same persons, as in these instances, must have had two or more totally distinct names. - Shaul, Uzziah, Uriel. * :24 VERSE 37 - Tahath. * Nu 33:26 - Assir. * Ex 6:24 - Ebiasaph. * :23 Ex 6:21-24 - Abiasaph. Korah. * Ge 36:5 Nu 16:1-35; 26:10,11 Ps 42:1; 44:1; 45:1; 49:1 *titles * Ps 84:1; 85:1 *titles VERSE 38 - Izhar. * Ex 6:18 Nu 3:19 - Izehar. * 1Ch 16:1 - Kohath. * Ge 46:11 - Levi. * Ge 29:34 - Israel. * Ge 32:28 VERSE 39 - his brother. Asaph is probably called his brother, because he was of the same tribe as Heman; or, perhaps, because he was his companion or associate. - Asaph. * 1Ch 15:17-19; 16:7; 25:2; 26:1 2Ki 18:18 2Ch 5:12; 20:14; 29:13,30 * 2Ch 35:15 Ezr 2:41; 3:10 Ne 7:44; 11:17,22; 12:35,46 * Ps 50:1; 73:1; 74:1; 75:1; 76:1; 77:1; 78:1; 79:1; 80:1 *titles * Ps 81:1; 82:1; 83:1 *titles - on his right hand. * :31; 25:3 - Berachiah. i.e., blessed of Jehovah. <\\S#1296h\\>. * :39; 3:20; 9:16; 15:17,23 2Ch 28:12 Ne 3:4,30; 6:18 Zec 1:1,7 - (1) A son of Zerubbabel. * 1Ch 3:20 - (2) A Levite, the father of Asaph, descended from Gershom. * :39; 15:17 - (3) A Levite, descended from Elkanah of Netopha. * 1Ch 9:16 - (4) A Levite, one of the four doorkeepers for the ark in David's reign. * 1Ch 15:23,24 - (5) One of the chief men of Ephraim in the reign of Pekah.

Debir. * Jos 10:3,38; 12:13; 15:49 VERSE 59 - Ashan. It is probable that either Ain, in Joshua, is a mistake for Ashan, or that it was called by both names. * 1Ch 4:32 Jos 15:42; 21:16 - Ain.

Almon and Alemeth having the same signification, are perfectly interchangeable. - Anathoth. * 1Ch 7:8 1Ki 2:26 Isa 10:30 Jer 1:1; 11:23; 37:12 - thirteen cities. Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon, which make thirteen. * Jos 10:2; 15:55; 21:16,17 1Ch 14:16 None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.

Aner is probably another name of Tanach, which was a city of the half tribe of Manasseh, west of Jordan; and Eusebius, Jerome, and Procopius of Gaza, say that it was in their time a considerable place, three miles from Legio. * Jos 21:25 - Tanach, Gath-rimmon. - Bileam. i.e., devouring; foreigner. <\\S#1109h\\>. Compare the same Hebrew word rendered Balaam. * Nu 22:5 Ibleam is here called Bileam, by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident, however, that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but, as it has been well observed, Salop and Shrewsbury, Sarum and Salisbury, are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim, which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages. * Jos 17:11 - Ibleam. * Jud 1:27 VERSE 71 - Golan. * De 4:43 Jos 20:8; 21:27 - Bashan. * Nu 21:33 Jos 12:4 1Ki 4:13 - Ashtaroth. * De 1:4 Jos 9:10; 21:27 - Beesh-terah. * Jud 2:13 VERSE 72 - Kedesh. * Jos 15:23; 19:37; 21:32 Jud 4:9 - Daberath. * Jos 19:12; 21:28,29 - Kishon, Daberah, Jarmuth, En-gannim.
