Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And she conceived again, and bare a son,.... As soon as she well could. The Jews (x) have a notion, that Leah brought forth her sons at seven months' end:
and said, because the Lord hath heard that I was hated; or less loved than her sister: he hath therefore given me this son also; to comfort her under the trial and exercise, and engage her husband's love the more unto her: and she called his name Simeon: which signifies "hearing", and answers to the reason of her having him as she concluded. (x) Pirke Eliezer, c. 36.
