1 Crônicas 4:41

41 Estes que estão inscritos por nome, vieram nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judá, e destruíram as tendas e os meunins que se acharam ali, e os exterminaram totalmente até o dia de hoje, e habitaram em lugar deles; porque ali havia pasto para os seus rebanhos.

1 Crônicas 4:41 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:41

And these written by name
Before in ( 1 Chronicles 4:34-37 ) ,

came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah;
as Dr. Lightfoot ^F13 thinks, not within the first fourteen years of his reign, when the Syrian army was abroad, and none dost peep out, but in his last fifteen years, when the army was destroyed and gone:

and smote their tents;
the tents of those who dwelt there for the sake of feeding their flocks, and whose pasturage the Simeonites wanted:

and the habitations that were found there;
or the Meunaim or Maonites, which the Septuagint Version here calls Mineans, a people sometimes mentioned along with the Philistines, and others: see ( Judges 10:11 Judges 10:12 ) ( 1 Chronicles 26:6 1 Chronicles 26:7 )

and destroyed them utterly unto this day:
to the writing of this book; they had not then recovered their possessions:

and dwelt in their room, because there was pasture there for their
flocks;
which was the thing they were in search of.

1 Crônicas 4:41 In-Context

39 Chegaram até a entrada de Gedor, ao lado oriental do vale, em busca de pasto para os seus rebanhos;

40 e acharam pasto abundante e bom, e a terra era espaçosa, quieta e pacífica; pois os que antes habitavam ali eram descendentes de Cão.

41 Estes que estão inscritos por nome, vieram nos dias de Ezequias, rei de Judá, e destruíram as tendas e os meunins que se acharam ali, e os exterminaram totalmente até o dia de hoje, e habitaram em lugar deles; porque ali havia pasto para os seus rebanhos.

42 Também deles, isto é, dos filhos de Simeão, quinhentos homens foram ao monte Seir, tendo por capitães Pelatias, Nearias, Refaías e Uziel, filhos de Isi,

43 e, matando o restante dos amalequitas, que havia escapado, ficaram habitando ali até o dia de hoje.
