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.

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

5. THE DESCENDANTS OF THE TRIBE OF REUBEN (1 Chronicles 5:1-10) TEXT 1 Chronicles 5:1. And the sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel (for he was the first-born; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. 2.

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

See 2 Kings 15:29, for his deportation of the people of the northern and trans-Jordanic districts of Israel, in the reign of Pekah. Some MSS., with LXX. and Syriac, read Tiglath, which is more correct than Tilgath.

Tilgath-Pilneser (Vulg., Thelgath-Phalnasar) is the invariable spelling of Chronicles. HE WAS PRINCE OF THE REUBENITES. — Beerah was tribal prince of Reuben, and not merely chief of a Reubenite clan, as some will have it. The Hebrew construction is parallel to that of Numbers 7:24
