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.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 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.
