Although Becher himself was adopted into Ephraim, his sons continued Benjamites, and are here mentioned in the genealogy of that tribe (1 Chronicles 6:60; Joshua 21:18).

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

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....
