1 Chronicles 8:40
"And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and had many sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty. All these are of the sons of Benjamin."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour,.... Men of great fortitude and courage, though their names are not expressed: archers; skilful in the use of the bow and arrows,

as the Benjaminites formerly were famous for slinging stones: and had many sons, and sons' sons, an hundred and fifty; so that the posterity of Jonathan, whose genealogy is drawn down from Ch1 8:34 hither, were very great; and greater still, according to the Vulgate Latin version, in which the number is 150,000 in the edition of Sixtus the fifth, and so in most MSS of that version (s). all these are of the sons of Benjamin; his posterity, whose names are given in this chapter. (s) See James of the Contrariety of the Popish Bibles, p. 294. Next: 1 Chronicles Chapter 9 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: 1 Chronicles:...
