أخبار الأيام الأول ٧:٨

The sons also of Jediael,.... The third son of Benjamin before mentioned, Ch1 7:6. Bilhan, including his posterity, as follows: and the sons of Bilhan; Jeush, and Benjamin; called so after his great grandfather: and Ehud; who was the second judge in Israel, Jdg 3:15. and Chenaanah, and Zethan, and Tharshish, and Ahishahar; of whom we nowhere else read.

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.
