Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things,.... As jewels and precious stones; or precious garments, as the Targum, in like manner
as Abraham gave to his sons, when he sent them from Isaac: with fenced cities in Judah; not as their own property, but he appointed them governors in them, to defend them against an enemy, and as a mark of honour to them: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn; strictly observing the law in Deu 21:16 , which was not always done; though it was reckoned by the Heathens contrary to the law of nations to give the kingdom to the younger (y). (y) Justin. e Trogo, l. 16. c. 2.
