1 Chronicles 7:14

The sons of Manasseh, i.e. grandchildren, as 1 Chronicles 7:13. For both Ashriel and Zelophehad were the grandchildren of Machir son of Manasseh, Numbers 26:29 &c.; Numbers 27:1. Whom she bare, to wit, his wife, as may be thought, because his concubine is here opposed to her. Or, whom he got; for the Hebrew word yalad is sometimes used of men's begetting, as Genesis 5:18, &c. Compare Psalms 2:7. But these and the following words may be otherwise rendered according to the Hebrew text, whom his concubine the Aramitess bare, who bare him (which ellipses are very frequent in the Hebrew) for meeth, of, or by Machir: so this was a differing Ashriel from him named Numbers 26:31; for that was Gilead's son, and this his brother. The father of Gilead; a person so called, as is manifest from 1 Chronicles 7:17 Numbers 26:29.
