1 Chronicles 8:29-40
Summary for 1Chr 8:29-32: 8:29-32 a This list gives the militia that resided at Gibeon, although some of them had moved to Jerusalem.Summary for 1Chr 8:33-40: 8:33-40 b The Chronicler concludes his record of Benjamin’s history with the genealogy of Saul, beginning two generations before Saul and extending through Merib-baal (=Mephibosheth; see study note on 2 Sam 4:4) and down to the families of Azel and Eshek (1 Chr 8:38-40 c). Micah (8:35 d) lived in the time of Solomon, and Ulam (8:39 e) lived near the end of the kingdom of Judah before the destruction of Jerusalem. Thus, Saul is connected with his larger tribal history and with a noble heritage that carried on throughout the kingdom period.
