Bela his firstborn

on 1 Chronicles 8:1-7

Benjamin's genealogy resumes here after the roll in chapter 7, and the return signals what the chapter is building toward: a full record of the tribe that produced Saul. Bela's line runs to grandsons already settled at Geba and then moved to Manahath, the ordinary drift of families across generations. Barnes reads the return to Benjamin as the compiler bridging the genealogical section into the historical narrative that opens with Saul at the chapter's end.
