Konteks4:1 The descendants of Judah:

4:2 Reaiah the son of Shobal was the father of Jahath, and Jahath was the father of Ahumai and Lahad. These were the clans of the Zorathites.
4:3 These were the sons of Etam:
Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister was Hazzelelponi.
4:4 Penuel was the father of Gedor, and Ezer was the father of Hushah. These were the descendants of Hur, the firstborn of Ephrathah and the father of Bethlehem.
4:5 Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah. 4:6 Naarah bore him Ahuzzam, Hepher, Temeni, and Haahashtari. These were the sons of Naarah. 4:7 The sons of Helah: Zereth, Zohar, Ethnan, 4:8 and Koz, who was the father of Anub, Hazzobebah, and the clans of Aharhel the son of Harum.
4:9 Jabez was more respected than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, for she said, “I experienced pain when I gave birth to him.” 1 4:10 Jabez called out to the God of Israel, “If only 2 you would greatly bless me and expand my territory! May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so I might not endure pain!” 3 God answered his prayer. 4
4:11 Kelub, the brother of Shuhah, was the father of Mehir, who was the father of Eshton. 4:12 Eshton was the father of Beth-Rapha, Paseah, and Tehinnah, the father of Ir Nahash. 5 These were the men of Recah.
4:13 The sons of Kenaz:
Othniel and Seraiah.
The sons of Othniel:
Hathath and Meonothai. 6 4:14 Meonothai was the father of Ophrah.
Seraiah was the father of Joab, the father of those who live in Ge Harashim, who were craftsmen. 7
4:15 The sons of Caleb son of Jephunneh:

4:16 The sons of Jehallelel:

4:17 The sons of Ezrah:

4:21 The sons of Shelah son of Judah:
Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, the clans of the linen workers at Beth-Ashbea, 4:22 Jokim, the men of Cozeba, and Joash and Saraph, both of whom ruled in Moab and Jashubi Lehem. (This information is from ancient records.) 12 4:23 They were the potters who lived in Netaim and Gederah; they lived there and worked for the king. 13
4:24 The descendants of Simeon:
Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul, 4:25 his son Shallum, his son Mibsam, and his son Mishma.
4:26 The descendants of Mishma:
His son Hammuel, his son Zaccur, and his son Shimei.
4:27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters. But his brothers did not have many sons, so their whole clan was not as numerous as the sons of Judah. 4:28 They lived in Beer Sheba, Moladah, Hazar Shual, 4:29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 4:30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 4:31 Beth Marcaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim. These were their towns until the reign of David. 4:32 Their settlements also included Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan – five towns. 4:33 They also lived in all the settlements that surrounded these towns as far as Baal. 14 These were their settlements; they kept genealogical records.
4:34 Their clan leaders were: 15
Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah son of Amaziah, 4:35 Joel, Jehu son of Joshibiah (son of Seraiah, son of Asiel), 4:36 Eleoenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 4:37 Ziza son of Shipi (son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah). 4:38 These who are named above were the leaders of their clans.
Their extended families increased greatly in numbers. 4:39 They went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, looking for pasture for their sheep. 4:40 They found fertile and rich pasture; the land was very broad, undisturbed and peaceful. Indeed some Hamites had been living there prior to that. 4:41 The men whose names are listed came during the time of King Hezekiah of Judah and attacked the Hamites’ settlements, 16 as well as the Meunites they discovered there, and they wiped them out to this very day. They dispossessed them, 17 for they found pasture for their sheep there. 4:42 Five hundred men of Simeon, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, went to the hill country of Seir 4:43 and defeated the rest of the Amalekite refugees; 18 they live there to this very day.
5:1 The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn –
(Now he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father’s bed, 19 his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph, Israel’s son. So Reuben is not listed as firstborn in the genealogical records. 20 5:2 Though Judah was the strongest among his brothers and a leader descended from him, 21 the right of the firstborn belonged to Joseph.)
5:3 The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn:
Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
5:4 The descendants of Joel:
His son Shemaiah, his son Gog, his son Shimei, 5:5 his son Micah, his son Reaiah, his son Baal, 5:6 and his son Beerah, whom King Tiglath-pileser 22 of Assyria carried into exile. Beerah 23 was the tribal leader of Reuben.
5:7 His brothers by their clans, as listed in their genealogical records:
The leader Jeiel, Zechariah, 5:8 and Bela son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel.
They lived in Aroer as far as Nebo and Baal Meon. 5:9 In the east they settled as far as the entrance to the desert that stretches to the Euphrates River, for their cattle had increased in numbers in the land of Gilead. 5:10 During the time of Saul they attacked the Hagrites and defeated them. They took over their territory in the entire eastern region of Gilead. 24
5:11 The descendants of Gad lived near them in the land of Bashan, as far as Salecah.
5:12 They included Joel the leader, Shapham the second in command, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 5:13 Their relatives, listed according to their families, 25 included Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia, and Eber – seven in all.
5:14 These were the sons of Abihail son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 5:15 Ahi son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was the leader of the family. 26 5:16 They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its surrounding settlements, and in the pasturelands of Sharon to their very borders. 27 5:17 All of them were listed in the genealogical records in the time of King Jotham of Judah and in the time of King Jeroboam of Israel.
5:18 The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 men in their combined armies, warriors who carried shields and swords, were equipped with bows, and were trained for war. 28 5:19 They attacked 29 the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 5:20 They received divine help in fighting them, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them. They cried out to God during the battle; he responded to their prayers because they trusted in him. 30 5:21 They seized the Hagrites’ 31 animals, including 50,000 camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys. They also took captive 100,000 people. 5:22 Because God fought for them, 32 they killed many of the enemy. 33 They dispossessed the Hagrites and lived in their land until the exile. 34
5:23 The half-tribe of Manasseh settled in the land from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. They grew in number.
5:24 These were the leaders of their families: 35
Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel. They were skilled warriors, men of reputation, 36 and leaders of their families. 5:25 But they were unfaithful to the God of their ancestors 37 and worshiped instead 38 the gods of the native peoples 39 whom God had destroyed before them. 5:26 So the God of Israel stirred up 40 King Pul of Assyria (that is, King Tiglath-pileser of Assyria), 41 and he carried away the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh and took them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river of Gozan, where they remain to this very day.

[4:9] 1 tn In Hebrew the name יַעְבֵּץ (ya’bets, “Jabez”) sounds like the noun עֹצֶב (’otsev) which means “pain.”
[4:10] 2 tn On the use of אִם (’im, “if”) here, see HALOT 60 s.v.
[4:10] 3 tn Heb “and act from [i.e., so as to prevent] harm so that I might not be in pain.”
[4:10] 4 tn Heb “and God brought about what he had asked.”

[4:13] 6 tc “Meonothai” is read here by some
[4:14] 7 tn Heb “the father of Ge Harashim, for they were craftsmen.” The name “Ge Harashim” means “valley of craftsmen.”
[4:15] 8 tn Heb “and the sons of Elah and Kenaz.” Kenaz was actually the son of Elah.
[4:17] 9 tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”
[4:18] 10 tn Heb “took,” referring to taking in marriage.

[4:41] 16 tn The Hebrew text reads “their tents,” apparently referring to those of the Hamites mentioned at the end of v. 40. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “the tents of Ham.”
[4:41] 17 tn Heb “and they lived in place of them.”
[4:43] 18 tn Heb “and struck down the remnant that had escaped belonging to Amalek.”
[5:1] 19 sn The phrase when he defiled his father’s bed refers to Reuben having sexual relations with his father Jacob’s concubine Bilhah. This incident is recorded in Gen 35:22.
[5:1] 20 tn Heb “and not to be listed in the genealogical records as (having) the right of the firstborn.”
[5:2] 21 tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.
[5:6] 22 tn Heb “Tilgath-pilneser,” a variant spelling of Tiglath-pileser (also in v. 26).
[5:6] 23 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Beerah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:19] 29 tn Heb “made war with.”
[5:20] 30 tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”
[5:21] 31 tn Heb “their”; the referent (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[5:22] 32 tn Heb “from God [was] the battle.”
[5:22] 33 tn Heb “many slain fell.”
[5:22] 34 tn Heb “and they lived in place of them until the exile.” The referent of “them” (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:24] 36 tn Heb “men of names.”

[6:1] 42 sn Beginning with 6:1, the verse numbers through 6:81 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 6:1 ET = 5:27 HT, 6:2 ET = 5:28 HT, 6:16 ET = 6:1 HT, etc., through 6:81 ET = 6:66 HT. Beginning with 7:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[6:15] 44 tn The words “the people of” are added in the translation for clarification.
[6:16] 45 sn Chapter 6 of 1 Chr begins here in the Hebrew text; 6:16-81 ET = 6:1-66 HT. See the note at 6:1.
[6:16] 46 tn The name “Gershom” (also in vv. 17, 20, 43, 62, 71) appears as “Gershon” in 1 Chr 6:1.
[6:19] 47 tn Heb “by their fathers.”
[6:22] 48 tn Or perhaps, “descendants,” since the list differs from the one in v. 18.
[6:25] 49 tn Heb “and Achimoth.”
[6:26] 50 tc The consonantal Hebrew text (Kethib) has, “Elkanah, his son, Elkanah.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “Elkanah, the sons of Elkanah.” The text probably originally read simply, “Elkanah his son.”
[6:27] 51 tc After the last named individual (“Elkanah” in v. 27) some LXX
[6:28] 52 tc The Hebrew text lacks the name יוֹאֵל (yo’el, “Joel”), which has probably dropped out due to homoioteleuton (note the last three letters of the preceding name שְׁמוּאֵל (shÿmuel, “Samuel”).
[6:32] 54 tn Heb “they were serving…with music.”
[6:32] 55 tn Or traditionally “tabernacle.”

[6:48] 60 tn Heb “their brothers, the Levites.”

[6:54] 65 tn Heb “to the clan of the Kohathites for to them was the lot.”
[6:57] 66 tn The parallel account in Josh 21:13 has the singular “city,” which apparently refers only to Hebron.
[6:58] 67 tc The MT reads “Hilez” here; the place name appears as “Holon” in Josh 21:15.
[6:59] 68 tc The MT reads “Ashan” here; the place name appears as “Ain” in Josh 21:16.
[6:59] 69 tc The LXX and Syriac (following the parallel list in Josh 21:16) add “Juttah and its pasturelands” here. Cf. NAB “Jetta”; also NIV, NCV, NLT “Juttah.”
[6:60] 70 tn The parallel passage in Josh 21:17 adds “Gibeon and its pasturelands” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The words “they were allotted” are supplied in the translation for both clarity and stylistic reasons.
[6:61] 71 tn Heb “to the sons of Kohath who were left from the clan of the tribe, from the half of the tribe of the half of Manasseh by lot ten cities.”
[6:62] 72 tn Heb “and to the sons of Gershom by their clans from the tribe of Issachar, and from the tribe of Asher, and from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.”
[6:63] 73 tn Heb “and to the sons of Merari by their clans from the tribe of Reuben, and from the tribe of Gad, and from the tribe of Zebulun by lot, twelve cities.”
[6:65] 74 tn Heb “and they gave by lot from the tribe of the sons of Judah, and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, and from the tribe of the sons of Benjamin these cities, which they called them by names.”
[6:66] 75 tn Heb “and from [it is probably preferable to read “to” here] the clans of the sons of Kohath and there were the cities of their territory from the tribe of Ephraim.”
[6:67] 76 tn The parallel account in Josh 21:21 has the singular “city,” referring only to Shechem.
[6:70] 77 tn Heb “and from the half of the tribe of Manasseh, Aner and its pasturelands and Bileam and its pasturelands to the clan, to the sons of Kohath who were left.”
[6:71] 78 tn Heb “to the sons of Gershom.”
[6:77] 79 tn Heb “to the sons of Merari, who were left.”
[6:77] 80 tc Before “Rimmono” the LXX (following the parallel passage in Josh 21:34) adds “Jokneam and its pasturelands, Kartah and its pasturelands.” This addition is included in some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT).
[6:78] 81 tn Heb “and from across the Jordan at Jericho, on the east of the Jordan, from the tribe of Reuben.” The word “River” is supplied in the translation for clarity.

[7:2] 82 tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”
[7:2] 83 tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”
[7:2] 84 tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”
[7:2] 85 tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”
[7:3] 86 tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.
[7:4] 87 tn Heb “and unto them by their generations to the house of their fathers [were] troops of war of battle, 36,000, for they had many wives and sons.”
[7:5] 88 tn Heb “and their brothers, according to all the clans of Issachar, the warriors [were] 87,000 listed in the genealogical records for all.”
[7:6] 89 tc The Hebrew text has simply “Benjamin,” but בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has dropped out by haplography (בְּנֵי בִּנְיָמִן, bÿney binyamin).
[7:10] 90 tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.
[7:12] 91 tn The name “Aher” appears as “Ahiram” in Num 26:38.
[7:13] 92 tn The name “Jahziel” appears as “Jahzeel” in Gen 46:24.
[7:13] 93 tc Most Hebrew
[7:14] 94 sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.
[7:15] 95 tn Some translations treat the terms שֻׁפִּים (shuppim) and חֻפִּים (khuppim) as proper names of individuals (“Huppim” and “Shuppim”), but others consider these forms to be plurals and refer to tribal or clan names.
[7:15] 96 tn Heb “and the name of the second was Zelophehad.”
[7:17] 97 tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.
[7:23] 98 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[7:23] 99 tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (ra’ah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.
[7:25] 100 tn The antecedent of the pronoun “his” is not clear. The translation assumes that v. 25 resumes the list of Ephraim’s descendants (see vv. 20-21a) after a lengthy parenthesis (vv. 21b-24).
[7:25] 101 tc The Hebrew text has simply “Resheph,” but the phrase “his son” has probably been accidentally omitted, since the names before and after this one include the phrase.
[7:27] 102 tn Heb “Non” (so KJV, NASB; cf. Exod 33:11, where the more familiar spelling “Nun” occurs).
[7:28] 103 map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.
[7:29] 104 tn “Beth Shean” is a variant spelling of “Beth Shan.”
[7:29] 105 map For location see Map1 D4; Map2 C1; Map4 C2; Map5 F2; Map7 B1.
[7:34] 106 tc The Hebrew text has אֲחִי (’akhiy, “the brother of”), but this should probably be emended to אֲחִיו (’akhiyv, “his brother”). Cf. v. 35. Most English versions treat this Hebrew word as a proper name (“Ahi”) and list it before “Rohgah.”
[7:34] 107 tn Or “Shomer,” cf. v. 32.
[7:34] 108 tc “Hubbah” is the marginal reading (Qere); the consonantal text (Kethib) has “Jachbah.”
[7:35] 109 tn Or “Hotham,” cf. v. 32.
[7:37] 110 tn The name “Ithran” is sometimes understood to be another name for “Jether” (v. 38).
[7:40] 111 tn Heb “all these were the sons of Asher, heads of the house of the fathers, selected, warriors, heads of the leaders, and there was listed in the genealogical records in war, in battle, their number, men, 26,000.”

[8:7] 113 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gera) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[8:29] 115 tc Some LXX
[8:30] 116 tc Some LXX
[8:31] 117 tc The Hebrew text omits the name “Mikloth,” but it may have fallen out accidentally by haplography. Note that the name immediately follows at the beginning of v. 32; cf. NAB.
[8:32] 118 tn Heb “and also they, opposite their brothers, lived in Jerusalem with their brothers.” This redundancy has been removed in the translation.
[8:33] 119 sn Eshbaal is called “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8.
[8:34] 120 sn Meribbaal is called “Mephibosheth” in 2 Sam 4:4.
[8:38] 121 tc The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokhÿru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). But the form should probably be revocalized בְּכֹרוֹ (bÿkhoru, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names.
[8:38] 122 tc The Lucianic recension of the LXX inserts another name here, καὶ Ἀζαριας (kai Azarias, “and Azariah”), presumably to make up the six sons mentioned at the beginning of the verse (see the previous tc note on “firstborn”). Cf. NAB.
[8:40] 123 tn Heb “and the sons of Ulam were men, warriors and treaders of a bow.”
