Wesley's Notes

7:7 Heads - Each of them head of that family to which he belonged. For it may seem by comparing this with chap.8:3, and c. that these were not the immediate sons of Belah, but his Grand - children descended each from a several father.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

7. the sons of Bela-Each of them was chief or leader of the family to which he belonged. In an earlier period seven great families of Benjamin are mentioned (Nu 26:38), five of them being headed by these five sons of Benjamin, and two descended from Bela. Here five families of Bela are specified, whence we are led to conclude that time or the ravages of war had greatly changed the condition of Benjamin, or that the five families of Bela were subordinate to the other great divisions that sprang directly from the five sons of the patriarch.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

7:1-40 Genealogies. - Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. We can assign no reason why they only should be omitted; but it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan, that idolatry began in that colony which fixed in Laish, and called it Dan, Jud 18 and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam. Dan is omitted, Re 7. Men become abominable when they forsake the worship of the true God, for any creature object.


1 Chronicles 7:6 The sons of Benjamin were three: Bela and Becher and Jediael.
