Barnes' Notes
<< 1 Chronicles 7:5   1 Chronicles 7:7 >>


1 Chronicles 7:6

Three - In Genesis, ten "sons" of Benjamin are mentioned; in Numbers, five (marginal references). Neither list, however, contains Jediael who was perhaps a later chieftain. If so, "son" as applied to him means only "descendant."

It is conjectured that Becher has disappeared from the lists in 1 Chr. 8 and in Numbers, because he, or his heir, married an Ephraimite heiress, and that his house thus passed over in a certain sense into the tribe of Ephraim, in which the "Bachrites" are placed in Numbers Numbers 26:35. He retains, however, his place here, because, by right of blood, he really belonged to Benjamin.
