Notes

1 Chronicles 8:33–40

The Chronicler ends his account of Benjamin's history with Saul's family tree. It starts two generations before Saul and goes through Merib-baal (also known as Mephibosheth; see study note on 2 Samuel 4:4) and continues to the families of Azel and Eshek (1 Chronicles 8:38–40). Micah (1 Chronicles 8:35) lived during Solomon's time, and Ulam (8:39) lived near the end of Judah's kingdom before Jerusalem's destruction. This connects Saul to his broader tribal history and a noble heritage that lasted throughout the kingdom period.

1 Chronicles 8:1–40

The genealogy of Benjamin's descendants concludes the genealogies. The record starts with Judah, David's tribe, and ends with Benjamin, Saul's tribe.
