The Expositor's Bible: The Books of Chronicles
Bennett, W. H. (William Henry)
Bible. Chronicles -- Commentaries
63 The occurrence of Caleb the son of Jephunneh in iv, 15, vi. 56, in
no way militates against this view: the chronicler, like other
redactors, is simply inserting borrowed material without correcting
it. _Chelubai_ in ii. 9 stands for _Caleb_; cf. ii. 18.
64 viii. 33-40; ix. 35-44. We have used Mephibosheth as more familiar,
but Chronicles reads Meribbaal, which is more correct.
65 Psalm lxxviii. 59, 60, 67-69.
66 iv. 14, 21-23.
67 1 Chron. xv.
68 Cf. 2 Chron. xxix. 12 and xxx. 22.
69 2 Chron. xvii. 8.
70 Exod. xxv-xxxix.; 1 Kings vi.; 1 Chron. xxix.; 2 Chron. iii., v.
71 1 Chron. xv. 4-10.
72 1 Chron. xii. 23-37.
73 John iii. 8.
74 i. 10.
75 i. 19.
76 i. 46.
77 Cf. Gen. xxxvi. 24 and 1 Chron. i. 40.
_ 78 I.e._, Achan (ii. 3, 7).
79 1 Sam. ii. 7, 8.
80 Vv. 17, 18, as they stand, do not make sense. The second sentence of
ver. 18 should be read before “and she bare Miriam” in ver. 17.
Mered and Bithiah formed a tempting subject for the rabbis, and gave
occasion for some of their usual grotesque fancies. Mered has been
identified by them both with Caleb and Moses.
81 Deut. vii. 3; Josh. xxiii. 12; Ezra ix. 1, x.; Neh. xiii. 23.
82 iv. 9, 10.
83 The reading on which this translation is based is obtained by an
alteration of the vowels of the Masoretic text; cf. Bertheau, i. 1.
84 Gen. xxviii. 20; xxxiii. 20.
85 This translation is obtained by slightly altering the Masoretic
text.
86 iv. 41; cf. R.V.
87 1 Sam. xv.
88 Judges i. 17.
89 Judges i. 22-26.
90 Judges xviii.
91 Vv. 7-10, 18-22.
92 Deut. xxxiii. 20; 1 Chron. xii. 8, 21.
93 Gen. xxv. 15.
94 Gen. xvi. 12.
_ 95 Lay of the Last Minstrel_, iv. 3.
96 Vv. 25, 26. Note the curious spelling _Tilgath-pilneser_ for the
more usual _Tiglath-pileser_.
97 Cf. Bertheau, i. 1.
98 In Josh. xix. 42, xxi. 24, Aijalon is given to Dan; in Judges i. 34
it is given to Dan, but we are told that Amorites retained
possession of it, but became tributary to the house of Joseph; in 2
Chron. xi. 10 it is given to “Judah and Benjamin.” As a frontier
town, it frequently changed hands.
99 2 Chron. xvi. 9.
100 2 Chron. xx. 20.
101 2 Chron. xxix. 6.
102 1 Chron. vi. 31-48, xv. 16-20; cf. psalm titles.
103 1 Chron. vi. 33, 37; cf. Psalm lxxxviii. (title).
104 1 Chron. xvi. 38, 42.
105 1 Chron. ix. 26-32; cf. 1 Chron. xxiii. 24-32.
106 2 Chron. xxix.-xxxi.; xxxiv.; xxxv.
107 2 Chron. xxix. 27, 28.
108 Num. iv. 3, 23, 35.
109 1 Chron. xxiii. 24, 27. Probably “twenty” should be read for
“thirty” in ver. 3.

112 2 Chron. xxxv. 3; cf. 1 Chron. xxiii 26.

114 2 Chron. xvii. 7, 9.
