The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel
on 1 Chronicles 5:3-10
Reuben's line runs to Beerah, whom Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria carried into exile. One clause sits between the names: During the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites. Wesley and Barnes note gaps in the line, which cannot span the centuries from Saul to Tiglath-pileser as written.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. As in Gen 46:9.
