1 Tawarikh 8:29-35

8:29 The father of Gibeon ¹  lived in Gibeon; his wife’s name was Maacah. 8:30 His firstborn son was Abdon, followed by Zur, Kish, Baal, ²  Nadab, 8:31 Gedor, Ahio, Zeker, and Mikloth. ³ 

8:32 Mikloth was the father of Shimeah. They also lived near their relatives in Jerusalem. ⁴ 

8:33 Ner was the father of Kish, and Kish was the father of Saul. Saul was the father of Jonathan, Malki-Shua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal. ⁵ 

8:34 The son of Jonathan:

Meribbaal. ⁶ 

Meribbaal was the father of Micah.

8:35 The sons of Micah:

Pithon, Melech, Tarea, and Ahaz.

[8:29]  ¹ tc Some LXX mss supply the name “Jeiel,” which is not in the MT (cf. 1 Chr 9:35). The addition of the name here is followed by many English versions (e.g., ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[8:30]  ² tc Some LXX mss add “Ner” here (cf. 1 Chr 9:36 and v. 33 below, where Ner is mentioned as the father of Kish). The form וְנֵר (vÿner) could have been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton since each name in the list has the conjunction prefixed to it. Some English versions follow the LXX here and add “Ner” (e.g., NAB, NIV, NLT).

[8:31]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “and also they, opposite their brothers, lived in Jerusalem with their brothers.” This redundancy has been removed in the translation.

[8:33]  ⁵ sn Eshbaal is called “Ishbosheth” in 2 Sam 2:8.

[8:34]  ⁶ sn Meribbaal is called “Mephibosheth” in 2 Sam 4:4.
