Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 9:39

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35-44Verses 35-44 An almost exact repetition of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38; and probably intentionally made by the author. In order to connect the genealogical section of his work with the historical, he re-introduces the genealogy of the person with whose death his historical section opens.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 35-44Saul's family's role in the kingdom is already set (1 Chronicles 8:29–40). Repeating this information helps move from the genealogies to the stories, starting with Saul's death (1 Chronicles 10).Read the comment
