SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:1
¶ Benjamín engendró a Bela su primogénito, Asbel el segundo, Ara el tercero,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:1
Verse 1. Now Benjamin begat, &c.] See what has been said on the preceding chapter, chap. vii. 6.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn , etc.] (see 1 Chronicles 7:6). The genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin is reviewed, because it joined and kept close with Judah in the worship of God, went into captivity, and returned out of it with it; and this review is made chiefly for the sake of Saul, and his posterity, the first king of Israel, who was of it, and in whose posterity this genealogy ends: Ashbel the second ; supposed to be the same with Jediael, ( 1 Chronicles 7:6), (see Genesis 46:21) and Aharah the third ; the same with Aher, ( 1 Chronicles 7:13), and with Ahiram, ( Numbers 26:38).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --Here is a larger list of Benjamin's tribe. We may suppose that man things in these genealogies, which to us seem difficult, abrupt, an perplexed, were plain and easy at that time, and fully answered the intention for which they were published. Many great and mighty nation then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose name are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israe of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the jus is blessed __________________________________________________________________
