1 Chronicles 7:14-18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

The Reader will remember that we had the register of the half-tribe of Manasseh, which dwelt in the land of Canaan, before, 1 Chronicles 5:23. What is here recorded of Manasseh, means the other half-tribe which remained on the other side of Jordan.

1 Chronicles 7:14-18

14 The sons of Manasseh; Ashriel, whom she bare: (but his concubine the Aramitess bare Machir the father of Gilead:

15 And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim, whose sister's name was Maachah;) and the name of the second was Zelophehad: and Zelophehad had daughters.

16 And Maachah the wife of Machir bare a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rakem.

17 And the sons of Ulam; Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.

18 And his sister Hammoleketh bare Ishod, and Abiezer, and Mahalah.
