EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 5:1 THE SONS OF REUBEN. The tribe of Reuben is now taken third in order by the compiler, though Reuben was the first of all the sons of Israel. The distinct statements of 1 Chronicles 5:1 and 1 Chronicles 5:2, respecting the degradation of Reuben and his loss of the rights of primogeniture, are not to be understood, however, as mentioned in any way to account for his standing third here. That Judah takes in any genealogy the first place needs no other apology than that contained in this passage, "Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler" (i.e.

AND THESE WERE THE HEADS OF THE HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS,.... Some of the principal men of this half tribe: EVEN EPHER, AND ISHI, AND ELIEL, AND AZRIEL, AND JEREMIAH, AND HODAVIAH, AND JAHDIEL; but of none of these we read elsewhere, excepting Hepher and Azriel, Numbers 26:31 MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR, FAMOUS MEN, AND HEADS OF THE HOUSE OF THEIR FATHERS; men that obtained a name for their strength, courage, and valour, and military exploits, and were the chiefs of the families in this half tribe, and by whom they were denominated; so from Hepher were the family of the Hepherites, and from Azriel the family of the Azrielites, as in the place before quoted....

The children of Gad and half Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:11) The account of the Simeonites is interesting. Some of their families had increased so much that they had no pasture for their flocks. Some went then to Gedor and found fat pasture and quietness. Others went to Mount Seir, and five hundred of them smote the Amalekites. Reuben was the firstborn, and the Chronicles state briefly why Reuben was not mentioned first in these genealogies. His birthright was given to the sons of Joseph. Judah, however, had

The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty and four thousand seven hundred and threescore, that were able to go forth to war. 19. And they made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab. 20. And they were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him. 21. And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty

THE BOOK OF 1 CHRONICLES GOD RULES HISTORY 1 CHRONICLES _Ian Mackervoy_ CHAPTER 5 THE *TRIBE OF REUBEN – 1 CHRONICLES 5:1-10 V1 Reuben was *Israel’s first son by birth. But he had sex with one of his father’s wives. So, he lost the benefits of the first son. *Israel gave these benefits to the sons of Joseph. Joseph was a son of *Israel. Therefore, Reuben could not be in the list as the first among the sons of *Israel. V2 Judah became stronger than his brothers, an
