1 Chronicles 27:4 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Dodai an Ahohite.The Ahohite. 1 Chronicles 11:11 proves that the right reading is Eliezer son of Dodai the Ahohite.

And of his course was Mikloth also the ruler. — Literally, and his course, and Mikloth the prince (nâgîd); which appears meaningless. Perhaps the “and” before Mikloth is spurious. (Comp. end of 1 Chronicles 27:6.) The sense may then be that this division included Mikloth “the prince,” an unknown personage; or that Mikloth was the chief man in the division. (See 1 Chronicles 8:32; 1 Chronicles 9:37, where Mikloth is a Benjamite name.) The LXX. and Vulg. agree with Authorised Version; the Syriac and Arabic are wanting in this chapter.

1 Chronicles 27:4

4 And over the course of the second month was Dodaia an Ahohite, and of his course was Mikloth also the ruler: in his course likewise were twenty and four thousand.
