1 Chronicles 4:42 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:42

And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred
men went to Mount Seir
In the land of Edom:

having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and
Uzziel, the sons of Ishi;
these four captains are said, by the ancient Rabbins, to be of the tribe of Manasseh, as Kimchi observes; see ( 1 Chronicles 5:24 ) but as the five hundred they were at the head of were of the sons of Simeon, the captains, no doubt, were of the same race.

1 Chronicles 4:42 In-Context

40 They found pasture that was rich and good. The land was vast, peaceful, and quiet because the Hamites used to live there.
41 In the days of King Hezekiah of Judah, the men listed here knocked down tents and killed the Meunites. They claimed the Meunites for God and destroyed them. (Even today no Meunites live there.) They lived in that land in place of the Meunites in order to have pasture for their flocks.
42 Ishi's sons Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel led 500 of Simeon's male descendants to Mount Seir.
43 They killed the Amalekites who were left. Simeon's descendants still live there today.
