**forasmuch.** Compare [Genesis 35:22](../../../kjv/genesis/35/22) ; [Genesis 49:4](../../../kjv/genesis/49/4) .
**not to be reckoned, &c.** = not to be enrolled in the place of the firstborn.
**birthright** . See note on [Genesis 25:31](../../../kjv/genesis/25/31) .

**Judah prevailed.** Compare [Genesis 49:8](../../../kjv/genesis/49/8) , referring to intertribal precedence.
**came.** Supply Figure of speech *Ellipsis* with "is".
**chief ruler.** Referring to the regal line, and the coming of the Messiah.

**carried away.** This was the *first* carrying away, and took place in 654. Compare [1 Chronicles 5:26](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/5/26) . The *second* was by Tiglath-Pileser (= Pul) in the reign of Pekah (649-629). This was the Galilee-Naphtali carrying away ([2 Kings 15:29](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/29) . [Isaiah 9:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/9/1) ) referred to in [Matthew 4:15](../../../kjv/matthew/4/15) . The *third* was the Samaria deportation in the ninth year of Hoshea and sixth of Hezekiah (611 B. c), and ended the kingdom of Israel ([2 Kings 17:3-23](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/3-23) ; [2 Kings 18:9-12](../../../kjv/2-kings/18/9-12) ). It was begun by Shalmaneser and ended by Sargon (613-611).

**Azaz.** Some codices, with four early printed editions, read "Azan", or "Azzan".
**Aroer . . . Nebo . . . Baal-meon.** All east of Dead Sea. See [Numbers 32:34](../../../kjv/numbers/32/34) , [Numbers 32:38](../../../kjv/numbers/32/38) . [Deuteronomy 2:36](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/2/36) .

**Hagarites.** Tracing their descent from Hagar through Ishmael. Compare [1 Chronicles 5:19](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/5/19) with [1 Chronicles 1:31](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/1/31) , and [Psalms 83:6](../../../kjv/psalms/83/6) .

**children** = sons.

**Heber.** Some codices, with two early printed editions and Septuagint, read "Hehed", mistaking *Resh* , ("r") for *Daleth,* ("d").

**in Gilead:** i.e. in part of it, other parts having been allotted to the halftribes of Reubenites and Manassites ([Numbers 32:39-40](../../../kjv/numbers/32/39-40) . [Deuteronomy 3:13](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/3/13) .[Joshua 13:31](../../../kjv/joshua/13/31); [Joshua 13:31](../../../kjv/joshua/13/31) ).

**Jotham . . . Jeroboam.** Jotham (647-631) and Jeroboam II (728-687). See App-50 . Consequently, the statement here refers to consensusses at different times.

**valiant men** = sons of valour.
**men.** Hebrew. *'enosh.* App-14 . These two and a half tribes, east of Jordan, chose their own portions, but were nearest to the enemy, and were the first to be carried away. Compare Lot, [Genesis 13:10](../../../kjv/genesis/13/10) , [Genesis 13:11](../../../kjv/genesis/13/11) , and [Genesis 14:11](../../../kjv/genesis/14/11) , [Genesis 14:12](../../../kjv/genesis/14/12) . Better to have our "lot" chosen for us by Jehovah ([Genesis 13:14](../../../kjv/genesis/13/14) , [Genesis 13:15](../../../kjv/genesis/13/15) ).

**helped:** i.e. by God ([2 Chronicles 26:17](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/17) . [Psalms 28:7](../../../kjv/psalms/28/7) ). This victory should have shown them that there could have been no captivity had they obeyed God (see note on [1 Chronicles 4:43](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/4/43) ).
**trust.** Hebrew. *batah.* App-69 .

**men.** Hebrew "souls ( *nephesh* ) of men ( *adam* )". App-13 and App-14 .

**until the captivity.** Compare [2 Kings 15:29](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/29) ; 2Ki 17:6 ; [2 Kings 18:9-12](../../../kjv/2-kings/18/9-12) : i.e. that of Tiglath-pileser.

**half:** i.e. the half beyond Jordan.

**even.** Septuagint and Vulgate omit this word "even".
**mighty men.** Hebrew. *gibbor.* App-14 .

**transgressed** = acted faithlessly.
**people** = peoples.

**God of Israel.** Note Elohim: not Jehovah, as dealing with Gentiles; but Israel, as not forgetting His covenant-relation though stirring up enemies.
**spirit.** Hebrew. *ruach.* App-9 .
**Pul . . . and . . . Tilgath-pilneser.** Two names of one person: Pul, the original and official name in Babylon of this usurper; Tilgath, his official name in Assyria, which he assumed from an earlier king. Compare [2 Kings 15:19](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/19) .
**Halah . . . Gozan.** Whither the Israelites west of Jordan were deported by Sargon ([2 Kings 15:29](../../../kjv/2-kings/15/29) , [2 Kings 17:6](../../../kjv/2-kings/17/6) ; [2 Kings 18:11](../../../kjv/2-kings/18/11) ).
**unto this day.** See note on [1 Chronicles 4:43](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/4/43) .
