أخبار الأيام الأول ٧:٣٢

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, Ch1 7:4, this was the number, not of their chief men, nor of all the people in the tribe, but of their militia. Next: 1 Chronicles Chapter 8

In this chapter we have some account of the genealogies, I. Of Issachar (Ch1 7:1-5). II. Of Benjamin (Ch1 7:6-12). III. Of Naphtali (Ch1 7:13). IV. Of Manasseh (Ch1 7:14-19). V. Of Ephraim (Ch1 7:20-29). VI. Of Asher (Ch1 7:30-40). Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam. Dan is omitted, Rev. 7.
