   ›Commentary on Genesis 46:212 voices

   “In the speech of Stephen (Ac 7:14) the number is stated to be seventy-five; but as that estimate includes five sons of Ephraim and Manasseh (1Ch 7:14-20), born in Egypt, the two accounts coincide.

   “And the sons of Benjamin,.... The second son of Jacob by his wife Rachel; whose sons were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard; in all one hundred and ten.

   ›Commentary on Judges 3:162 voices

   “Ehud made him a dagger . . . and he did gird it . . . upon his right thigh--The sword was usually worn on the left side; so that Ehud's was the more likely to escape detection.

6. 1 Chronicles 8:1

   Benjamin was the father of Bela, his firstborn; Ashbel was the second born, Aharah the third,

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:12 voices

   “The names of many of the persons mentioned are different from those given by Moses--a diversity which may be accounted for in part on grounds formerly stated, namely, either that the persons had more than one name, or that the word "sons" is used in a loose sense for grandsons or descendants.

   “Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn,.... See 1Ch 7:

7. 1 Chronicles 8:4

   Addar, Gera, Abihud, Abishua, Naaman, Ahoah,

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:41 voice

   “And Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, and Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram. These were all the sons of Bela; one of the name of Naaman is reckoned among the sons of Benjamin, Gen 46:21 and from this grandson the family of the Naamanites are named, Num 26:40, and Ahoah is by some thought to be the same with Ehi, mentioned in Gen 46:21 as one of Benjamin's sons. Some take the three last to be the sons of Ehud, spoken of in the next verse; but Shephuphan and Huram seem to be the same with Shupham and Hupham, Num 26:39.

8. 1 Chronicles 8:6

   These were the descendants of Ehud who were the heads of the families living in Geba and were exiled to Manahath:

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:62 voices

   “And these are the sons of Ehud,....

   “And they removed them to Manahath - “They” has no antecedent; and it is difficult to supply one. Almost all commentators suppose that there has been some corruption here, from which, however, we may gather that the “sons of Ehud” (or, perhaps, of Ahoah, 1Ch 8:4) were originally settled at Geba (Jos 18:24 note), but afterward removed to a place called Manahath, probably a town in the vicinity. Gera 1Ch 8:7 directed the movement.

9. 1 Chronicles 8:7

   Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera, who carried them into exile and who was the father of Uzza and Ahihud.

   ›Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:71 voice

   “And Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera,.... Or, to wit, Naaman, &c. so the words are to be connected with these are the sons or Ehud, in the preceding verse: he removed them; to the above place, that is, either Gera, or rather Ehud, he advised them, directed and enjoined them to go thither, as being most convenient for them: and he begat Uzza and Ahihud; after he had removed his other sons.
