1 Chronicles 7:40

_ALL THESE WERE THE CHILDREN OF ASHER, HEADS OF THEIR FATHER'S HOUSE, CHOICE AND MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR, CHIEF OF THE PRINCES. AND THE NUMBER THROUGHOUT THE GENEALOGY OF THEM THAT WERE APT TO THE WAR AND TO BATTLE WAS TWENTY AND SIX THOUSAND MEN._ All these were the children of Asher, heads of their father's house, choice and mighty men of valour. They were an active, courageous, and enterprising tribe; and when the census was taken at Sinai, it was numerically stronger than Ephraim, Manasseh, or Benjamin (Numbers 1:32). But the natural richness of its allotted possession fostered a love of ease and luxury, and consequently led to habits of inertness which were severely censured (Judges 5:17), and it gradually sank into insignificance, until its name was omitted from the list of tribes that furni

Verse 1 Chronicles 7:40. _THE CHILDREN OF ASHER_] The rabbins say that the daughters of Asher were very beautiful, and were all matched with _kings_ or _priests_. Several things relative to the subjects in this chapter may be found explained in the parallel places marked in the margin....

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 7:1 The great tribes of Judah and Levi being now passed, as well as the minor ones of Simeon, Reuben, and Gad, we reach the SONS OF ISSACHAR. Issachar was Jacob's fifth son by Leah (Genesis 35:23). In the list of Genesis 46:13 our PUAH (פוּאָח) appears differently spelt as Phuvah (פֻוָּח), and JASHUB is found as Job, which is corrected by the Samaritan Codex to Jashub, and this reading the Septuagint follows. In the other parallel passage (Numbers 26:23) the Phuvah form obtains, but the other names are the same as her

ALL THESE WERE THE CHILDREN OF ASHER, HEADS OF THEIR FATHER'S HOUSE,.... Principal men in their tribe, and respective families: CHOICE AND MIGHTY MEN OF VALOUR; these were some selected from others, being eminent for their courage and valour: CHIEF OF THE PRINCES; or chief princes; the Vulgate Latin version is, dukes of dukes, they were heads of their fathers' families: [AND] THE NUMBER THROUGHOUT THE GENEALOGY THAT WERE APT TO WAR, AND TO BATTLE, [WAS] TWENTY AND SIX THOUSAND [MEN]; that is, in the days of David, 1 Chronicles 7:4, this was the number, not of their chief men, nor of all the people in the tribe, but of their militia....

PART I (1 Chronicles 1-9). GENEALOGICAL LISTS, TOGETHER WITH GEOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTES. These Chapter s form a general introduction to the whole work. They contain the following genealogies, often in an incomplete form: Adam to Israel (1 Chronicles 1:1 to 1 Chronicles 2:2) with the exception of Cain's descendants (Genesis 4:16) the whole material is taken from Genesis 1-36; Judah (1 Chronicles 2:3); David (1 Chronicles 3:1); Judah again, and made up of fragments ...

The treatment of different tribes is unequal in this chapter. In the case of Issachar (1 Chronicles 7:1-5), Benjamin (1 Chronicles 7:6-12), and Asher (1 Chronicles 7:30-40), genealogies are given and the number of fighting-men of each tribe is stated. To Naphtali is devoted a single verse, giving only the names of his sons. For Manasseh and Ephraim genealogies are given and their possessions are shortly enumerated. The mention of Dan is obliterated, owing to the state of the text of 1 Chronicles 7:12....
