Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 6:28
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28The first-born Vashni, and Abiah - There is a great mistake in this verse: in 1 Samuel 8:2; we read, Now the name of his (Samuel's) first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiah. The word יואל Joel is lost out of the text in this place, and ושני vesheni, which signifies the second, and which refers to Abiah, is made here into a proper name. The Septuagint, Vulgate, and Chaldee, copy this blunder; but the Syriac and Arabic read as in 1 Samuel 8:2…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28Vashni - The true name of Samuel‘s first-born, which was “Joel” (see the margin and references), has here dropped out; and the word properly meaning “and his second (son)” has been taken as the name of the first.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 16-30The second introduction of the Levites (1 Chronicles 6:16–19a) presents the leaders of all the Levitical families (6:19b–30). The list includes the family trees of: Gershon (1 Chronicles 6:20–21) Kohath (1 Chronicles 6:22–24) Merari (1 Chronicles 6:29–30)Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 16-4816-48. The sons of Levi; Gershom, &c.--This repetition (see 1Ch 6:1) is made, as the historian here begins to trace the genealogy of the Levitical families who were not priests. The list is a long one, comprising the chiefs or heads of their several families until David's reign, who made a new and different classification of them by courses.Read the comment
