SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:29
Y en Gabaón habitaron Abigabaón, la mujer del cual se llamó Maaca;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:29
Verse 29. And at Gibeon] This passage to the end of the 38th verse is found with a little variety in the names, 1 Chronicles ix. 35-44. The rabbins say that Ezra, having found two books that had these passages with a variety in the names, as they agreed in general, he thought best to insert them both, not being able to discern which was the best.
His general plan was to collate all the copies he had, and to follow the greater number when he found them to agree; those which disagreed from the majority were thrown aside as spurious; and yet, in many cases, probably the rejected copies contained the true text.
If Ezra proceeded as R. Sol. Jarchi says, he had a very imperfect notion of the rules of true criticism; and it is no wonder that he has left so many faults in his text.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon , etc.] The builder of the city, and prince of the inhabitants of it, which was in the tribe of Benjamin, ( Joshua 18:25) whose name was Jehiel, ( 1 Chronicles 9:35), (whose wife’s name was Maachah;) of which name were many, (see Chronicles 2:48 3:2 7:16).
Ver. 30, 31. And his firstborn son Abdon , etc.] That is, Jehiel’s, the father or prince of Gibeon; other sons follow: Zur, Kish, Baal, Nadab, Gedor, Ahio, and Zacher ; called Zechariah, ( Chronicles 9:37) and between Baal and Nadab, Ner is placed, ( Chronicles 9:36) and another son is added at the end of ( 1 Chronicles 9:37), Mikloth next mentioned.
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 __________________________________________________________________
