1Ch 8:1 Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn, Ashbel the second, and Aharah the third,
Ver. 1. **Aharah.** ] *Alias* Ahiram, Num 26:38 and Ehi. Gen 46:21

1Ch 8:2 Nohah the fourth, and Rapha the fifth.
Ver. 2. **Rapha.** ] *Alias* Rosh. Gen 46:21

1Ch 8:5 And Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram.
Ver. 5. **And Gera.** ] Who haply was the son of the former Gera; or the former might die soon, and this be called after his name.

1Ch 8:6 And these [are] the sons of Ehud: these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba, and they removed them to Manahath:
Ver. 6. **And these are the sons of Ehud.** ] Haply of that famous Ehud. Jdg 3:15
****
**And they removed them.** ] The governors did; but when, how, or wherefore, we find not.

1Ch 8:7 And Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud.
Ver. 7. **He removed them.** ] *Ut de haereditate singulis ante obitum prospiceret,* saith Junius: that he might provide inheritances for them before his death. Abraham did the like. Gen 25:5-6

1Ch 8:8 And Shaharaim begat [children] in the country of Moab, after he had sent them away; Hushim and Baara [were] his wives.
Ver. 8. **And begat children in the country of Moab.** ] Where he sojourned, haply - as did Elimelech Rth 1:1 - because of the famine.
****
**After he had sent them away.** ] Or, After he had sent away Hushim and Basra, his wives, *quas repudiavit propter causas quae tacentur,* saith Vatablus.

1Ch 8:13 Beriah also, and Shema, who [were] heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove away the inhabitants of Gath:
Ver. 13. **Who drove away the inhabitants of Gath.** ] See [1 Chronicles 7:21](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/7/21) .

1Ch 8:14 And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth,
Ver. 14. Here we have a list of the chieftains of the Benjamites who dwelt at Jerusalem after the captivity.

1Ch 8:29 And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife’s name [was] Maachah:
Ver. 29. Whose wife’s name was Maachah.] Who was surely an honour to her husband, with whom she is therefore once and again memorised. See [1 Chronicles 7:15-16](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/7/15-16) .

1Ch 8:33 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
Ver. 33. **And Ner begat Kish.** ] This Ner is also called Abiel. 1Sa 9:1 The Hebrews tell us that his proper name was Abiel; and that he was called Ner - that is, a lamp or torch - because he outshone others in holiness. He had another son besides Kish, the father of Saul, viz., Ner, the father of Abner. 1Sa 14:50-51
****
**And Saul begat Jonathan.** ] Who was - as the Romans once said of Pompey - a most amiable son of an odious father. *a*
****
**And Eshbaal.** ] *Alias* Ishbosheth; so [1 Chronicles 8:34](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/8/34) . Meribbaal, *alias* Mephibosheth. Baal is by Hosea called "That shame."
*a* εχθρου πατρος φιλτατον τεκνον .

1Ch 8:34 And the son of Jonathan [was] Meribbaal; and Meribbaal begat Micah.
Ver. 34. **And Meribbaal begat Micah.** ] From hence to the end of this chapter is a catalogue of Jonathan’s progeny. Of the rest of Saul’s children we read not that they had any posterity. That old verse is well known and daily verified,
“ Eυσεβεων παιδεαυι τα λωια, δυαυεβεων δ ου . ”
