Berean Study Bible

These were the sons of Abihail
The phrase introduces a genealogical record, emphasizing the importance of lineage in the Israelite tradition. "Abihail" means "father of might" or "my father is might," reflecting the cultural significance of names in conveying identity and heritage. This lineage underscores the continuity of God's covenant with His people, as family lines were crucial in maintaining tribal and national identity.

Ahi, the son of Huri
"Ahi" means "my brother" in Hebrew, suggesting a sense of kinship and community. "Huri" means "linen-weaver," indicating a possible occupation or characteristic of the family. This highlights the diverse roles and contributions within the tribes of Israel, each member playing a part in the larger narrative of God's people.

the son of Jaroah
"Jaroah" means "moon" or "month," possibly indicating a connection to timekeeping or calendrical significance in ancient Israel. This name may reflect the Israelites' awareness of celestial bodies and their role in marking sacred times and seasons, which were integral to their worship and agricultural life.

the son of Gilead
"Gilead" is a region east of the Jordan River, known for its balm and rugged terrain. The name means "heap of testimony" or "monument," symbolizing a place of witness and remembrance. This connection to a geographical location underscores the Israelites' deep ties to the land promised to them by God, serving as a testament to His faithfulness.

the son of Michael
"Michael" means "Who is like God?" and is a name that appears frequently in the Bible, often associated with divine strength and protection. This rhetorical question serves as a reminder of God's unparalleled power and sovereignty, encouraging believers to trust in His providence and care.

the son of Jeshishai
"Jeshishai" means "ancient" or "aged," suggesting wisdom and experience. In the biblical context, age is often associated with honor and respect, as elders were seen as repositories of knowledge and tradition. This highlights the value placed on generational wisdom and the transmission of faith from one generation to the next.

the son of Jahdo
"Jahdo" means "he will be united" or "he will be one," reflecting the biblical theme of unity among God's people. This name underscores the importance of communal harmony and the collective identity of the Israelites as one nation under God, bound together by shared faith and purpose.

the son of Buz
"Buz" means "contempt" or "despised," which may seem negative but can also reflect humility and reliance on God. In biblical narratives, those who are initially overlooked or scorned often become instruments of God's grace and power, demonstrating that His strength is made perfect in weakness.

Pulpit Commentary

Verses 14, 15. - These are the children of Abihail; i.e. the seven "brethren" of the preceding verse. A rapid line of descent, or rather of ascent, consisting of ten generations, from Abihail to Guni, here follows. The division between these verses has unfortunately cut in half one name, i.e. Buzaki. The translators of the Septuagint saw that the two verses composed one line of ascent, but instead of piecing "Aki" to "Buz," translated it as" brother." Though this line takes us some way back, we find nowhere else any clue or identification of any of these ten persons. Of the twenty-one persons in all, therefore, named as belonging to the tribe of Gad, nothing else is known; and we have nothing to guide us to connect them with any one rather than another of the original" sons of Gad" (Genesis 46:16; Numbers 16:15-18).
