of Benjamin.In the parallel place of Genesis, ten sons of Benjamin are reckoned, Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard; and in Numbers, five only are mentioned, Bela, Ashbel, Ahiraim, Shupham, and Hupham; and Ard and Naaman are said to be the sons of Bela, and consequently Benjamin's grandsons. In the beginning of the following chapter, also, five are only mentioned, Bela, Ashbel, Aharah, Nohah, and Rapha; and Addar, Gera, Abihud, Abishua, Naaman, Ahoha, another Gera, Shephuphan, and Huram, are all represented as grandsons, not sons of Benjamin: hence we see that in many cases, grandsons are called sons, and both are often confounded in the genealogical tables. It seems, also, that the persons mentioned in the following verses were neither sons nor grandsons of Bela and Becher, but distinguished persons among their descendants. 8:1-12; Ge 46:21; Nu 26:38-41Jediael.10,11 were reckoned.21:1-5; 2Ch 17:17,18 8 9 Ehud.Jud 3:15-30 mighty men.2Ch 17:13-19 Shuppim.15; Ge 46:21Muppim, Huppim.Nu 26:39Shupham, Hupham. Ir.7Iri. Aher.{Aher} signifies another, and it has been conjectured that these were Danites, "the sons of another tribe;" especially as Hushim is named as the only son of Dan, Ge 46:23. And they suppose that the name of Dan was not mentioned, because his descendants first established idolatry. But Zebulun, as well as Dan, is here omitted, perhaps because none of either of these tribes returned at first from Babylon. Though the Benjamites had been almost destroyed in the first days of the judges, they soon became numerous and powerful. Nu 26:38Ahiram.1 Chronicles 8:1-7
1 The sons and chief men of Benjamin.33 The stock of Saul and Jonathan. Bela.7:6-12; Ge 46:21Aharah.Nu 26:38Ahiram. 2 Addar.The variation in this name is occasioned simply by the transposition of a {Dâleth,] {daleth} and [Rêysh,] {raish}; being in the parallel passage ['Ard ,] Ard, and here [Addâr ,] Addar. Ge 46:21; Nu 26:40Ard. 4 Gera.Jud 3:15Shephuphan.[Shuppîym ,] Shuppim, seems to be merely a contracted form of [Shephûwphâm ,] Shupham, or rather, Shephupham, which, by the mutation of [Mêm,] {mem,} into [Nûwn,] {noon,} is here changed into [Shephûwphân ,] Shephuphan. 7:12Shuppim.Nu 26:39Shupham. Huram.Huram appears to be an error for Hupham in the parallel passage of Numbers, which, by contraction, is written Huppim. Ehud.7:10; Jud 3:20-30; 4:1Gera.Ge 46:21Geba.6:60Manahath.2:25,54 7
