1 พงศาวดาร 4:34 วิจารณ์

In this chapter we have, I. A further account of the genealogies of the tribe of Judah, the most numerous and most famous of all the tribes. The posterity of Shobal the son of Hur (Ch1 4:1-4), of Ashur the posthumous son of Hezron (who was mentioned, Ch1 2:24), with something particular concerning Jabez (Ch1 4:5-10), of Chelub and others (Ch1 4:11-20), of Shelah (Ch1 4:21-23). II. An account of the posterity and cities of Simeon, their conquest of Gedon, and of the Amalekites in Mount Seir (v. 24-43).

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 4 In this chapter is a further account of the tribe of Judah, and of some principal families in it, Ch1 4:1 and of the tribe of Simeon, their families, cities, and villages, Ch1 4:24 and of the enlargement of their borders, and conquest of the Amalekites, Ch1 4:39.

And they went to the entrance of Gedor,.... There was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah, Ch1 4:18 but this seems to be further off, and perhaps is the same with Gedaris, mentioned by Strabo (l) along with Azotus and Askelon, cities that belonged to the Philistines; since it was inhabited by the posterity of Ham, of whom the Philistines were, as in the following verse: even unto the east side of the valley; which was near to Gedor, and a suitable place: to seek pasture for their flocks; their sheep and goats. (l) Geograph. l. 16. p. 522.

A second genealogy of Judah, vv. 1-23. The account of Jabez, Ch1 4:9, Ch1 4:10. The genealogy of Simeon, Ch1 4:24-27. Their cities, Ch1 4:28-31. Their villages, and where situated, Ch1 4:32, Ch1 4:33. The heads of families, Ch1 4:34-38. Where they settled; and what was their occupation, Ch1 4:39-43.

POSTERITY OF JUDAH BY CALEB THE SON OF HUR. (Ch1 4:1-8) the sons of Judah--that is, "the descendants," for with the exception of Pharez, none of those here mentioned were his immediate sons. Indeed, the others are mentioned solely to introduce the name of Shobal, whose genealogy the historian intended to trace (Ch1 2:52).
