Commentary

This site's exposition

Helez the Pelonite, of the children of Ephraim

on 1 Chronicles 27:10-15

The list runs out the remaining six months, one course of twenty and four thousand after another, with no story attached to any of the six names. The uniform silence is itself the pattern: after the flashes at Benaiah and Asahel, Chronicles lets the rest of the year's captains stand as names alone, the discipline the book keeps through most of its rosters.
