The sons and chief men of Benjamin33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan These were the descendants of Ehud Ehud is a name associated with a judge from the Book of Judges (Judges 3:15-30), known for delivering Israel from Moabite oppression. However, the Ehud mentioned here is likely a different individual, as the genealogies in Chronicles often refer to lesser-known figures. This highlights the importance of family lineage and heritage in Israelite society, emphasizing the continuity of God's people through generations. who were the heads of the families living in Geba and were exiled to Manahath Persons / Places / Events 1. EhudA significant figure in Israel's history, Ehud was a judge who delivered Israel from Moabite oppression. His descendants are mentioned here, indicating his lasting legacy. 2. Geba A town in the territory of Benjamin, often associated with the tribe's inheritance. It served as a strategic location in various biblical accounts. 3. Manahath A place to which the descendants of Ehud were exiled. The exact location is uncertain, but it signifies a movement or displacement of people. 4. Exile The act of being sent away from one's homeland. In this context, it refers to the relocation of Ehud's descendants, which may have been due to political or social reasons. Teaching Points Legacy of FaithfulnessEhud's legacy as a judge and deliverer of Israel is significant. His descendants are noted, reminding us of the impact one person's faithfulness can have on future generations. The Importance of Place Geba's mention highlights the importance of place in biblical accounts. It serves as a reminder of the strategic and spiritual significance of locations in our own lives. Understanding Exile The exile of Ehud's descendants to Manahath can symbolize times of displacement or transition in our lives. It encourages us to seek God's purpose and presence even when we are not where we expected to be. God's Sovereignty in Movement The movement of people, whether through exile or other means, is under God's sovereign control. This reassures us that God is at work even in our relocations and life changes.(6) And these are the sons of Ehud.--The Authorised Version makes no distinction between this Ehud and Ehud son of Gera, the famous Benjamite judge (Judges 3:15). The difference in the Heb. is so slight, that perhaps we may assume an original identity of the two names. In that case we get a link between the sons of Ehud and the house of Gera, 1Chronicles 8:5. Others identify the present Ehud with the Abihud of 1Chronicles 8:3, which is possibly correct: (Comp. Nadab-Abinadab, Dan and Abidan, Numbers 1:11.) These are the heads of the fathers.--Heads of father-houses, i.e., of groups of kindred families or clans. The Hebrew text of the rest of this verse, and 1Chronicles 8:7-8, is unusually obscure, partly owing to the construction, but chiefly because of the historical allusions which are no longer explicable with any certainty. Most interpreters assume a parenthesis after the words "and these are the sons of Ehud," extending to the words "he removed them," in 1Chronicles 8:7. . . . Verses 6, 7. - Ehud. We are brought to a halt again by the sudden introduction of this name. Even if it stand for Abihud (ver. 3) or for Ahoah (ver. 4), why is it changed in so short an interval? It is impossible to establish order in these verses except by most gratuitous conjecture. But it may be supposed that the verses say that Ehud's people once belonged to Manahath, that the heads of them removed them to Geba (Joshua 18:24), and that he himself (query, Ehud? but commonly read Gera) removed them, and also Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera (which look very much like the Naaman, Ahoah, and Gera of vers. 4, 5); and finally that after the removing "he" had two fresh sons, Uzza and Ahihud.Parallel Commentaries ...
