  1  The sons and chief men of Benjamin.
33  The stock of Saul and Jonathan.


VERSE 1
- Bela.
   * 1Ch 7:6-12 Ge 46:21
- Aharah.
   * Nu 26:38
- Ahiram.


VERSE 2 
 - Nohah.  i.e., quietude.  <\\S#5119h\\>.
- Rapha.  i.e., he healed; the giant the shrunken.
  <\\S#7498h\\>.
   * :2; 20:4,6,8

- (1) One of the sons of Benjamin.

   * :37
- Called Rephaiah.
   * 1Ch 9:43
- (3) An ancient giant, whose descendants were giants.
   * 1Ch 20:4


VERSE 3 
 - Addar.
  The variation in this name is occasioned simply by the
  transposition of a {Dƒleth,] {daleth} and [Rˆysh,] {raish};
  being in the parallel passage ['Ard <\\S#714h\\>,] Ard, and
  here [Addƒr <\\S#146h\\>,] Addar.

   * Ge 46:21 Nu 26:40
- Ard.


VERSE 4 
 - Abishua.
   * 1Ch 6:4
- Naaman.
   * Ge 46:21 Nu 26:40
- Ahoah.  i.e., brotherly; brother of the Lord; brother of rest.
  <\\S#265h\\>.
   * 2Sa 23:28


VERSE 5 
 - Gera.
   * Jud 3:15
- Shephuphan.
  [ShuppŒym <\\S#8206h\\>,] Shuppim, seems to be merely a
  contracted form of [Sheph-wphƒm <\\S#8197h\\>,] Shupham, or
  rather, Shephupham, which, by the mutation of [Mˆm,] {mem,}
  into [N-wn,] {noon,} is here changed into [Sheph-wphƒn
  <\\S#8197h\\>,] Shephuphan.

   * 1Ch 7:12
- Shuppim.
   * Nu 26:39
- Shupham.  Huram.
  Huram appears to be an error for Hupham in the parallel
  passage of Numbers, which, by contraction, is written Huppim.


VERSE 6 
 - Ehud.
   * 1Ch 7:10 Jud 3:20-30; 4:1
- Gera.
   * Ge 46:21

VERSE 8 
 - Shaharaim.  i.e., double-dawn; two dawns or mornings; morning
  and evening twilight.  <\\S#7842h\\>.  in the.
   * Ru 1:1
- Hushim.
   * Ge 46:23
- Baara.  i.e., brutish; kindling of the moon; she hath kindled.
  <\\S#1199h\\>.
- after he had sent them away.
   * Ge 25:6
  Matthew Poole notes, Ehud or Gera last mentioned; others join
  these words with the former, and render the place thus, "after
  he had sent them (his sons) away, with Hushim and Baara his
  wives," i.e., as he also sent his wives away from him; which
  may be here mentioned as a brand upon him, to show that he was
  without natural affection to his wives and children.  And it
  seems the more probable that he divorced them, because we find
  him married to another wife, ver. 9.

   * Mt 19:3-9 2Ti 3:3
- wives.
   * 1Ch 4:5 Ge 4:19


VERSE 9 
 - Hodesh.  i.e., new moon.  <\\S#2321h\\>.
  In the preceding verse it is said that "Hushim and Baara were
  his wives;" and here it said, "he begat of Hodesh his wife,"
  etc; and then in the eleventh verse, his children by Hushim
  are mentioned, but not a word of Baara.  It is probable,
  therefore, that Hodesh was another name for Baara; and this is
  asserted by the Targumist: "And he begat of Baara, that is, of
  Chodesh, his wife, so called because he espoused her anew."
  But it might be more probable to adopt Poole's view, given in
  the Note to verse 8, then to suppose Shaharaim divorced then
  remarried Baara after sending her away, accepting her back
  again, now giving her a new and more suitable name.

- Johab.
   * Ge 10:29
- Zibia.  i.e., a gazelle; honorable chief.  <\\S#6644h\\>.
- Mesha.  i.e., waters of devastation; making to forget;
  equalizing; existing; retreat, removal, deliverance.
  <\\S#4331h\\>.  only here.
- (1) A king of Moab in the time of Ahab.
   * 2Ki 3:4
- (2) A son of Caleb.
   * 1Ch 2:42
- (3) A descendant of Benjamin.
   * :9

- Shachia.  i.e., captivation; captive of the Lord; the return
  of Jah.  <\\S#7634h\\>.

   * :12,18


VERSE 12 
 - Ono.
  Ono is stated by Reland to have been three miles from Lydda.

   * Ezr 2:33 Ne 6:2; 7:37; 11:35
- Lod.
  Lod, or Lydda, was situated about four leagues from Joppa, and
  a day's journey, or about thirty-two miles N.W. from
  Jerusalem; and, according to the Antonine Itinerary, twelve
  miles from Jamnia, eighteen from Eleutheropolis, and twenty
  two from Bethar.  Josephus says it was a village, not yielding
  to a city in greatness; and that it was one of three
  toparchies dismembered from Samaria, and given to the Jews.
  It was destroyed by Cesitus in the Jewish war, and, when
  rebuilt, was called Diospolis.  It is now called Loudd, and is
  a poor village, situated in a fine plain about a league to the
  E.N.E.  of Ramia.

   * Jos 15:63; 18:28 Jud 1:21 Ne 11:1,7-9
- Jerusalem.
  Jerusalem, the ancient capital of Judea, is situated in long.
  35 deg. 20. min. E., lat. 31 deg. 47 min 47 sec. N.; and,
  according to the best authorities, 136 miles S.W. of Damascus,
  34 miles S. of Shechem or Nablous, 45 miles E. of Jaffa, 27
  miles N. of Hebron, and about 20 miles W. of Jericho.  The
  city of Jerusalem was built on hills, and encompassed with
  mountains, (Ps 125:2,) in a stony and barren soil, and was
  about sixteen furlongs in length, say Strabo.  The ancient
  city of Jebus, taken by David from the Jebusites, was not
  large, and stood on a mountain south of that on which the
  temple was erected.  Here David built a new city, called the
  city of David, wherein was the royal palace.  Between  these
  two mountains lay the valley of Millo, filled up by David and
  Solomon; and after the reign of Manasseh, another city is
  mentioned, called the second.  The Maccabees considerably
  enlarged Jerusalem on the north, enclosing a third hill; and
  Josephus mentions a fourth hill, called Bezetha, which Agrippa
  joined to the former:  this new city lay north of the temple,
  along the brook Kidron.  See note ch. 34 9:34.

- Bocheru.  i.e., his first born; the first-born is he.
  <\\S#1074h\\>.
   * :38; 9:44
  Here is a case of a son being given a name which literally
  means "firstborn," but he was not born first, but second.
  This is another evidence that "firstborn" does not mean born
  first, but has primary reference to certain legal privileges
  pertaining to the birthright.  The eldest son succeeded to the
  father's rank and position as head of the family or tribe, and
  as represntative of its perogatives.  He also inherited a
  double portion of his father's property, a right guaranteed
  even when his mother was the less loved of two wives (De 21:17;
  2 Ki 9 2:9).  A birthright might be sold to a younger brother,
  as Esau sold his birthright to Jacob (Ge 25:29, 34; Heb 12:16).
  It might also be forfeited on account of misconduct (1 Ch 1 5:1).
