Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 7:28

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-40This chapter provides the genealogies of the remaining tribes of Israel. The sections on the tribes of Issachar, Benjamin, and Asher may come from a military census. These lists are almost the same length, use military terms, record the father's houses, and do not mention settlements. The tribes of Zebulun and Dan are completely omitted, and Naphtali has only a short record.Read the comment
