This verse in 1 Chronicles 7
Commentary
2 notes on this verseHere is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam.
This site's exposition
The sons of Asher; Imnah
on 1 Chronicles 7:30-40
Asher's genealogy runs three generations after Beriah, closing with a war-ready count of twenty six thousand men, choice and mighty men of valour and chief among their princes. Gill points out that two tribes get no entry anywhere in this chapter, Dan and Zebulun, and Henry connects Dan's absence to the calf Jeroboam later set up in the Danite colony at Laish, a reading he offers rather than the text itself stating a cause. The chapter that opened with Issachar's numbers ends in a bare list of Asherite names, the compression the Chronicler applies to every tribe outside the line that carries the throne and the temple.
