1 Chronicles 27:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Of his course was Mikloth the ruler; who was either,

1. The captain of this course after the death of this Dodai, as Zebadiah was after Asahel, 1 Chronicles 27:7. But the differing phrase there and here sufficiently intimates that the same thing is not meant in both places. Or,

2. His lieutenant or deputy, in case of his necessary absence. But why should such a one be named here, and not in the rest of the courses? Or rather,

3. One of the officers of his course, who seems here particularly to be named as a person then of great note and eminency.

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.
