The sons and chief men of Benjamin33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan The sons of Ulam The phrase "The sons of Ulam" introduces us to a specific lineage within the tribe of Benjamin. Ulam, though not extensively mentioned elsewhere in Scripture, is significant here as the progenitor of a line of warriors. The Hebrew root for "Ulam" can be associated with strength or prominence, suggesting that his descendants carried on a legacy of valor and distinction. This highlights the importance of family heritage and the transmission of virtues and skills across generations. were mighty warriors archers and they had many sons and grandsons 150 in all All these were the descendants of Benjamin Archers.--Literally, treaders of the bow (1Chronicles 5:18). The meaning is that they drew their bows by resting the foot against them, the bows being large. Had many sons, and sons' sons, an hundred and fifty.--What was their date? If we may assume that no names have been omitted, we are concerned with the fourteenth generation from Jonathan, the friend of David. The era of David has been fixed at about 1055-1045 B.C. ; so that the great-grandsons of Ulam may have flourished about 635-625 B.C. (1055 minus 420), in the reign of Josiah. The omission of names, however, is as possible and as likely in the present series as elsewhere; and it is obvious that one or two additional members would carry the list past the exile (B.C. 588). There are reasons for believing that the posterity of Ulam really represent a family of the period of the Return. Their number is favourable to the supposition. Comp. Ezra 2:18; Ezra 2:21; Ezra 2:23; Ezra 2:27; Ezra 2:30 for families of about the same dimensions, which returned with Zerubbabel. Further, the reference in 1Chronicles 8:8-10 to a sojourn of certain Benjamite houses in Moab may be connected with the mention in Ezra 2:6; Ezra 8:4; Nehemiah 3:11, and elsewhere, of the "sons of the Pasha of Moab" (Pahath Mo'ab. This word pahath used to be reckoned among the indications of the late origin of the Chronicle. Now, however, it is known to be an ancient Semitic term. Comp. the Assyrian pihatu). Ono and Lod (1Chronicles 8:12) may be compared with Ezra 2:33, and the singular names Elam (1Chronicles 8:24) and Azmaveth (1Chronicles 8:36), with the "sons of Elam" (Ezra 2:7), and "the sons of Azmaveth," or "Beth-azmaveth" (Ezra 2:24; Nehemiah 7:28). The name Bocheru (in 1Chronicles 8:38) has been classed with Gashmu (Nehemiah 6:6), but the latter is an Arab, and there is seemingly no MS. authority for Bocheru. Ishmael (1Chronicles 8:38) reminds us of "Ishmael son of Nethaniah, of the seed royal" (2Kings 25:25), who survived the fall of Jerusalem. . . .
