Chronicles Chapter Nine
New King James Version (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 9
The
genealogies of the several tribes being given, according as they were written
in the books of the kings of Israel, 1 Chronicles 9:1,
an account follows of those who first settled in Jerusalem after their return
from the Babylonish captivity; of the Israelites, 1 Chronicles 9:2,
of the priests, 1 Chronicles 9:10
of the Levites, and of the charge and offices of several of the priests and
Levites, 1 Chronicles 9:14,
and the chapter is concluded with a repetition of the genealogy of the
ancestors and posterity of Saul king of Israel, 1 Chronicles 9:35.
1 Chronicles
9:1 So all Israel
was recorded by genealogies, and indeed, they were inscribed in the book
of the kings of Israel. But Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because
of their unfaithfulness.
YLT
1And all Israel have
reckoned themselves by genealogy, and lo, they are written on the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah -- they were removed to Babylon for their trespass.
So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies,.... Not now
by the writer of this book in the preceding chapters; for two of the tribes are
not reckoned at all, and the rest but in part; but there had been kept an exact
account of them:
and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel; not in the
canonical book or books of Kings, but in the annals, journals, and diaries,
which each king took care to be kept with some exactness, often referred to in
the preceding books; out of which this writer, under a divine direction, had
taken what was proper to be continued, and had carried the genealogy down to
the captivity of the ten tribes; but the genealogy being lost with them, he
could proceed no further, nor say anything more concerning them:
but Judah; for so the word should be stopped, and read according to the
Hebrew accents:
who were carried away to
Babylon for their transgression; their idolatry, and were now returned
again; of them the writer proposes to give a further account.
1 Chronicles
9:2 2 And
the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were
Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim.
YLT
2And the first inhabitants,
who [are] in their possession, in their cities, of Israel, [are] the priests,
the Levites, and the Nethinim.
Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their
cities,.... Who first returned from Babylon upon the proclamation of
Cyrus, and enjoyed their former possessions, and dwelt in the cities they had
before, or in such as were allotted them, or they chose:
were, the
Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims; the whole
body that returned were divided into four classes, as they had been before the
captivity; the Israelites were the common people in general, the body politic;
the priests, the ecclesiastics, who officiated in sacred things; the Levites,
who ministered to them; and the Nethinims were such persons as were
"given", as the word signifies, to do servile work for the sanctuary,
as, to be hewers of wood and drawers of water; such were the Gibeonites, Joshua 9:27, and
such as were appointed by David for such work, see Ezra 8:20.
1 Chronicles 9:3 3 Now in Jerusalem the
children of Judah dwelt, and some of the children of Benjamin, and of the
children of Ephraim and Manasseh:
YLT
3And in Jerusalem dwelt of
the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, and of the sons of Ephraim and
Manasseh:
And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the
children of Benjamin,.... Of which tribes were the largest number that went into, and
returned out of, captivity:
and of the children of Ephraim and Manasseh; such of those
tribes who had joined the others when Jeroboam introduced his idolatry, or had
fled to them when Samaria was besieged and taken by Shalmaneser, and so went
into captivity with Judah, and now returned; and as many of them as took the
advantage of the proclamation of Cyrus, who were carried captive with the ten
tribes.
1 Chronicles 9:4 4 Uthai the son of Ammihud,
the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the descendants of Perez,
the son of Judah.
YLT
4Uthai son of Ammihud, son
of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, of the sons of Pharez, son of Judah.
Uthai, the son of Ammihud,.... Called Athaiah, Nehemiah 11:4
though his ancestors there are differently reckoned here; his genealogy here is
traced from his father Ammihud, through Omri, Imri, Bani, Pharez, to Judah.
1 Chronicles 9:5 5 Of the Shilonites: Asaiah
the firstborn and his sons.
YLT
5And of the Shilonite:
Asaiah the first-born, and his sons.
And of the Shilonites,.... Not called so from
the city of Shiloh, which was in Ephraim; whereas these here intended were of
the tribe of Judah, and were either the descendants of a man whose name was
Shiloni, Nehemiah 11:5 or
rather these are the same with the Shelanites, Numbers 26:20 so
called from Shelah the son of Judah; and so the Targum here is,"and of the
tribe of Shelah:"
Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons; the same with Maaseiah, Nehemiah 11:5.
1 Chronicles 9:6 6 Of the sons of Zerah:
Jeuel, and their brethren—six hundred and ninety.
YLT
6And of the sons of Zerah:
Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
And of the sons of Zerah,.... Another son of
Judah:
Jeuel, and their brethren; six hundred and ninety; or their
kinsmen; for this number includes all of the posterity of Pharez, Shelah and
Zerah mentioned.
1 Chronicles 9:7 7 Of the sons of Benjamin:
Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenuah;
YLT
7And of the sons of
Benjamin: Sallu son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah,
And of the sons of Benjamin,.... Who were of the
tribe of Benjamin, and went with Judah into captivity, and returned with them,
and such of them as dwelt in Jerusalem before that:
Sallu the son of Meshullam; whose pedigree is
differently given, Nehemiah 11:7,
the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hassenaah; perhaps these
men had two names, there called Joel and Pedaiah.
1 Chronicles 9:8 8 Ibneiah the son of
Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri; Meshullam the son of
Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
YLT
8and Ibneiah son of Jeroham,
and Elah son of Uzzi, son of Michri, and Meshullam son of Shephatiah, son of
Reuel, son of Ibnijah.
And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham,.... Who with two more,
Elah and Meshullam, whose ancestors are given, of whom we have no mention
elsewhere, were all of the tribe of Benjamin, said to settle at Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 9:9 9 and their brethren,
according to their generations—nine hundred and fifty-six. All these men were
heads of a father’s house in their fathers’ houses.
YLT
9And their brethren,
according to their generations, [are] nine hundred and fifty and six. All these
[are] men, heads of fathers, according to the house of their fathers.
And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred
amd fifty and six,.... Which was the number of the Benjaminites there resident put
together, and which greatly exceeded that of Judah, 1 Chronicles 9:6.
all these men were chief of the fathers, in the house of their
fathers; principal men in the families of the tribes of Judah and
Benjamin, even all the seven before mentioned.
1 Chronicles 9:10 10 Of the priests: Jedaiah,
Jehoiarib, and Jachin;
YLT
10And of the priests:
Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
And of the priests,.... Who returned and dwelt at Jerusalem:
Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin; Jedaiah was the son of
Jehoiarib, and Jachin is called Jachin, Nehemiah 11:10.
1 Chronicles 9:11 11 Azariah the son of
Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son
of Ahitub, the officer over the house of God;
YLT
11and Azariah son of Hilkiah,
son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, leader in the
house of God;
And Azariah the son of Hilkiah,.... That is, the son of
Azariah, whose name was Seraiah, see 1 Chronicles 6:13,
whose pedigree is traced up from Hilkiah through Meshullam, called Shallum, 1 Chronicles 6:12.
Zadok, Meraioth, to Ahitub:
the ruler of the house of God; high priest in it; which
is to be understood of Ahitub, and not of Azariah or Seraiah in the time of
Ezra; for Joshua was then high priest.
1 Chronicles 9:12 12 Adaiah the son of Jeroham,
the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai the son of Adiel, the son of
Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
YLT
12and Adaiah son of Jeroham,
son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son
of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer.
And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur,.... In this
genealogy, between Jeroham and Pashur, were three more here omitted, Pelaliah,
Amzi, Zechariah, Nehemiah 11:12, and
then Pashur the son of Malchijah, as here:
and Maasiai the son of Adiel; whose pedigree is traced
up from hence, through Jahzerah, Meshullam, Meshillemith, to Immer; one of the
five heads of the courses settled by David, 1 Chronicles 24:14.
The names of this man, and of his ancestors, are given, with some variation, in
Nehemiah 11:13.
1 Chronicles 9:13 13 and their brethren, heads
of their fathers’ houses—one thousand seven hundred and sixty. They were
very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
YLT
13And their brethren, heads
to the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty, mighty
in valour, [are] for the work of the service of the house of God.
And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, one
thousand and seven hundred and threescore. These, with other
priests, made up this number, which was greater than those of Judah and
Benjamin, that dwelt in Jerusalem, put together:
very able men for the work of the service of the house of God: men that had
not only strength of body, which some part of the work of the priests required;
but had courage and fortitude of mind to set about the service of God with
cheerfulness, and to preserve it from corruption.
1 Chronicles 9:14 14 Of the Levites: Shemaiah
the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of
Merari;
YLT
14And of the Levites:
Shemaiah son of Hashshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of
Merari;
And of the Levites,.... Having given an account of the two
first classes of the people, the Israelites and priests, the author of the book
now proceeds to the Levites, the third class; and the first mentioned is Shemaiah,
whose ancestors, Hashub, Azrikam, and Hashabiah:
were of the sons of
Merari; the third son of Levi.
1 Chronicles 9:15 15 Bakbakkar, Heresh, Galal,
and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
YLT
15and Bakbakkar, Heresh, and
Galal, and Mattaniah son of Micah, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;
And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah,.... Four more
of the chief of the Levites, the pedigree of the last of which is traced up by
Micah and Zichri to Asaph, the singer in the times of David, a descendant of
Gershon, the first son of Levi; the first of these is thought by HillerusF20Onamastic.
Sacr. p. 401, 548. to be the same with Bakbukiah, Nehemiah 11:17.
1 Chronicles 9:16 16 Obadiah the son of
Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechiah the son of Asa,
the son of Elkanah, who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.
YLT
16and Obadiah son of
Shemariah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah, son of Asa, son of
Elkanah, who is dwelling in the villages of the Netophathite.
And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah,.... Called Abda the son
of Shammua, Nehemiah 11:17.
the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; who was
Ethan, another of the singers in the time of David:
and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in
the villages of the Netophathites; the villages about
Netophah, which was in the tribe of Judah, 1 Chronicles 2:54, Nehemiah 7:26 which
may be understood either of Elkanah, the ancestor of Berechiah, whose dwelling
was there; or of Berechiah, and must be rendered:
who had dwelt there; for now he dwelt at
Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles 9:17 17 And the gatekeepers were
Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman, and their brethren. Shallum was the
chief.
YLT
17And the gatekeepers [are]
Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren -- Shallum [is]
the head;
And the porters,.... Or keepers of the gates of the
tabernacle:
were Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their
brethren; Shallum was the chief; of these four porters, and their brethren.
1 Chronicles 9:18 18 Until then they had
been gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi at the King’s Gate
on the east.
YLT
18and hitherto they [are] at
the gate of the king eastward; they [are] the gatekeepers for the companies of
the sons of Levi.
Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward,.... At the
gate through which the king went into the temple, and was at the east of it;
and here these porters were placed in the same order after the captivity, and
their return from it, as before:
they were porters in the companies of the children of Levi; or in the
camp of Levi, which was placed around the tabernacle, as in the wilderness: the
Septuagint version is, "these are the gates of the camp of the children of
Levi"; at which these porters were placed.
1 Chronicles 9:19 19 Shallum the son of Kore,
the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s
house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service,
gatekeepers of the tabernacle. Their fathers had been keepers of the entrance
to the camp of the Lord.
YLT
19And Shallum son of Kore,
son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father,
the Korahites, [are] over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of
the tent, and their fathers [are] over the camp of Jehovah, keepers of the
entrance;
And Shallum the son of Kore,.... The same as in 1 Chronicles 9:17
whose pedigree is traced up to Ebiasaph the son of Korah, see Exodus 6:24.
and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites; so called,
because they descended from Korah:
were over the work of
the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle; until the
temple was built:
and their fathers being over the host of the Lord; the Levites,
who were the Lord's army, and whose service is represented as a warfare, Numbers 4:5.
were keepers of the
entry; into the tabernacle, that none might enter that were impure; or
into the court of the priests, excepting priests; or into the holiest of all,
as Kimchi suggests.
1 Chronicles 9:20 20 And Phinehas the son of
Eleazar had been the officer over them in time past; the Lord was
with him.
YLT
20and Phinehas son of Eleazar
hath been leader over them formerly; Jehovah [is] with him.
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time
past,.... Over the host, over the Levites, and the chief of them;
which is to be understood of Phinehas the son of Eleazar, in the time of Moses,
who succeeded his father in that post, see Numbers 3:32 though
some think, as Kimchi observes, that this was not Phinehas the priest, but a
certain Levite of this name in this post; but since he is said to be in time
past, it may very well be understood of him: and it also is observed:
and the Lord was with him; inspiring him with zeal
for his honour and glory, assisting and strengthening him to do his will and
work, as particularly in the affair of Zimri, Numbers 25:7, the
Targum is,"the Word of the Lord was for his help;'
this
may be said for the encouragement of him that was in the same office now.
1 Chronicles 9:21 21 Zechariah the son of
Meshelemiah was keeper of the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
YLT
21Zechariah son of
Meshelemiah [is] gatekeeper at the opening of the tent of meeting.
And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah,.... Some
think this refers to one that was in the times of David; but it seems rather to
respect one that was after the Babylonish captivity, see 1 Chronicles 26:1
though he and his brethren were in an office established in the times of David,
and the order of which was now, as then, observed:
was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: who was the
chief porter, and kept the door; either that led into the outer court, and kept
out all unclean persons from entering there; or that which led into the court
of the priests, that none but priests might enter there.
1 Chronicles 9:22 22 All those chosen as
gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve. They were recorded by their
genealogy, in their villages. David and Samuel the seer had appointed them to
their trusted office.
YLT
22All of those who are chosen
for gatekeepers at the thresholds [are] two hundred and twelve; they [are] in
their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer
appointed in their office.
All those that were chosen to be porters in the gates were two
hundred and twelve,.... As fixed in the days of David, and might not be fewer:
these were reckoned by their genealogies in their villages; where they
dwelt:
whom David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office; the scheme
was first drawn by Samuel the prophet, and communicated to David, who put it
into execution, to be constantly and perpetually observed.
1 Chronicles 9:23 23 So they and their children
were in charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, the house of
the tabernacle, by assignment.
YLT
23And they and their sons
[are] over the gates of the house of Jehovah, even of the house of the tent, by
watches.
So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the
house of the Lord,.... They that were appointed in David's time to watch the gates
of the temple, their posterity succeeded them in that office; for it was
hereditary:
namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards; that which
was at Gibeon in David's time, and now one was erected until the temple was
built.
1 Chronicles 9:24 24 The gatekeepers were
assigned to the four directions: the east, west, north, and south.
YLT
24At four sides are the
gatekeepers, east, west, north, and south.
In four quarters were the porters,.... For, according to the
Targum on 1 Chronicles 9:22
there were twenty four wards:
towards the east, west, north, and south; and, as the
same paraphrase has it, six wards to the east, six to the west, six to the
north, and six to the south.
1 Chronicles 9:25 25 And their brethren in
their villages had to come with them from time to time for seven days.
YLT
25And their brethren in their
villages [are] to come in for seven days from time to time with these.
And their brethren, which were in their villages,.... Assigned
them to dwell in:
were to come after seven days from time to time with them; there was a
new course of them every week; the old ones went off of duty, and another
course succeeded, which came out of the villages where they dwelt, and the old
course retired to theirs.
1 Chronicles 9:26 26 For in this trusted office
were four chief gatekeepers; they were Levites. And they had charge over
the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
YLT
26For in office [are] the
four chiefs of the gatekeepers, they are Levites, and they have been over the
chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God,
For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office,.... The four
chief porters who were over all the two hundred and twelve, and had one over
them, 1 Chronicles 9:17,
these were never changed, nor went into the country villages; but were always
upon the spot, and in their office, superintending the rest:
and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God; see 1 Chronicles 26:20.
1 Chronicles 9:27 27 And they lodged all
around the house of God because they had the responsibility, and they were
in charge of opening it every morning.
YLT
27and round about the house
of God they lodge, for on them [is] the watch, and they [are] over the opening,
even morning by morning.
And they lodged round about the house of God,.... In
chambers on the outward wall about it, that they might be near to do their
office:
because the charge was upon them; to guard the house:
and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them; that is, the
opening of the doors of the mountain of the house, and the court of women; for
as for others, that appertained to the priests, as Dr. LightfootF21Temple-Service,
c. 7. sect. 1. observes; under the second temple, it is saidF23Misn.
Shekalim, c. 5. sect. 1. , Ben Geber was over the shutting of the gates in the
evening, and so of opening in the morning.
1 Chronicles 9:28 28 Now some of them
were in charge of the serving vessels, for they brought them in and took them
out by count.
YLT
28And [some] of them [are]
over the vessels of service, for by number they bring them in, and by number
they take them out.
And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that
they should bring them in and out by tale. Which the priests used in
sacrificing, and which the Levites brought to them, and returned again to their
proper places.
1 Chronicles 9:29 29 Some
of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements
of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the
incense and the spices.
YLT
29And [some] of them are
appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and
over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the
spices.
Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all
the instruments of the sanctuary,.... They were committed
to their care; they delivered them out on occasion, and their business was to
see that they were returned when they had done their use and service:
and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the
frankincense, and the spices; which were used in meat offerings, drink
offerings, &c. see 1 Chronicles 26:20
under the second temple, Ahiah was over the libations or drink offeringsF24Ibid.
(Misn. Shekalim, c. 5. sect. 1.) .
1 Chronicles 9:30 30 And some of the
sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
YLT
30And [some] of the sons of
the priests are mixing the mixture for spices.
And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the
spices. For though the Levites had the care of the spices, they might not
make the ointment with them, only the priests, see Exodus 30:23.
1 Chronicles 9:31 31 Mattithiah of the Levites,
the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the trusted office over the things
that were baked in the pans.
YLT
31And Mattithiah, of the
Levites (he [is] the first-born to Shallum the Korahite), [is] in office over
the work of the pans.
And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of
Shallum the Korahite,.... Of whom see 1 Chronicles 9:19,
had the set office over the things that were made in the pans; the meat
offerings that were made in pans; and so had the care of the fine flour, oil,
and frankincense used in them, which he delivered to the priests when
necessary, see Leviticus 2:5, the
Septuagint version is,"over the works of the sacrifice of the pan of the
high priest;'as if it respected peculiarly his meat offering, Leviticus 6:20, we
read in the MisnahF25Menachot, c. 11. sect. 3. & Tamid, c. 1.
sect. 3. of the offerings of the high priest, as expressed by this word, which
it signifies, and not pans, but what was fried in themF26Vid.
Sheringham. in Misn. Yoma, c. 2. sect. 3. p. 16. ; and Ben Melech on the place
says, this man was an high priest who offered every day the tenth part of an
ephah in a pan, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening,
according to Leviticus 6:20, but
that cannot be, for certain it is he was a Levite, as the text expresses it.
1 Chronicles 9:32 32 And some of their brethren
of the sons of the Kohathites were in charge of preparing the showbread
for every Sabbath.
YLT
32And of the sons of the
Kohathite, [some] of their brethren [are] over the bread of the arrangement, to
prepare [it] sabbath by sabbath.
And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were
over the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath,.... Twelve loaves of
which were set every week before the ark upon the shewbread table, and the old
ones taken away: now the work of these Levites was to make this shewbread, and
get it ready every week to be set upon the table, and which was done not by them,
but by priests; under the second temple, the family of Garmu was set over this
workF1Misn. Shekalim, ut supra. (c. 5. sect. 1.) .
1 Chronicles 9:33 33 These are the singers,
heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites, who lodged in the
chambers, and were free from other duties; for they were employed
in that work day and night.
YLT
33And these who sing, heads
of fathers of the Levites, in the chambers, [are] free, for by day and by night
[they are] over them in the work.
And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites,.... Others of
them were employed in singing, and were masters of the song, and presided in
that service, see 1 Chronicles 6:31
who remaining
in the chambers were free; from all other work and
service; and there they abode, even in the chambers of the temple, that they
might be near to perform their work, and not be defiled, and made unfit for it:
for they were employed in that work day and night; some or other
of them, either in composing or singing psalms and hymns, or teaching others
how to sing them.
1 Chronicles 9:34 34 These heads of the
fathers’ houses of the Levites were heads throughout their
generations. They dwelt at Jerusalem.
YLT
34These heads of the fathers
of the Levites throughout their generations [are] heads. These have dwelt in
Jerusalem.
These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their
generations,.... Even all before made mention of in this chapter:
these dwelt at Jerusalem; always resided there,
and did not in turns go into the country villages, as the inferior Levites did;
their office requiring them to be constantly there, being chief of the porters,
singers, &c. who had the superintendency and direction of the rest.
1 Chronicles 9:35 35 Jeiel the father of
Gibeon, whose wife’s name was Maacah, dwelt at Gibeon.
YLT
35And in Gibeon dwelt hath
the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, and the name of his wife [is] Maachah;
Verses 35-44
And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon,.... Whose
name is here mentioned, which is not in 1 Chronicles 8:29.
Jehiel:
whose wife's name was Maachah; as there, but here
called his sister, as a wife sometimes is, Genesis 20:2. From
hence to the end of the chapter is a repetition of the ancestors and posterity
of Saul king of Israel; which is made to lead on to and connect the following
history of the kings of Judah, begun in this book, and carried on in the next
unto the Babylonish captivity, see 1 Chronicles 8:29,
and the notes there.
1 Chronicles 9:36 36 His firstborn son was
Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
YLT
36and his son, the
first-born, [is] Abdon, and Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
1 Chronicles 9:37 37 Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah,[a] and
Mikloth.
YLT
