Notes
These verses have several issues that suggest the Hebrew text might be damaged:
Maacah is listed as both the sister and wife of Makir (1 Chronicles 7:15–16).
Huppim and Shuppim were earlier listed with Benjamin (1 Chronicles 7:12), not Manasseh.
Those considered Gileadites (1 Chronicles 7:16–17) are vaguely linked to Gilead, whose direct descendants are not listed (compare Numbers 26:30–33).
The sons of Shemida are not connected to the genealogy (1 Chronicles 7:19) Shemida was one of Gilead’s descendants (Numbers 26:32).
This chapter provides the genealogies of the remaining tribes of Israel.
The sections on the tribes of Issachar, Benjamin, and Asher may come from a military census. These lists are almost the same length, use military terms, record the father's houses, and do not mention settlements.
The tribes of Zebulun and Dan are completely omitted, and Naphtali has only a short record.
