1 Chronicles 5:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 5:19

And they made war with the Hagarites
Before mentioned, ( 1 Chronicles 5:19 )

with Jetur, and Nephish:
with the posterity of these men, who were sons of Ishmael, ( Genesis 25:15 ) and so was Nodab; perhaps the same with Kedemah, mentioned along with the other two there; so Hillerus ^F26 thinks.

1 Chronicles 5:19 In-Context

17 All of them were registered in the genealogies during the reigns of Judah's King Jotham and Israel's King Jeroboam.

18 The sons of Reuben and Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh had 44,760 warriors who could serve in the army-men who carried shield and sword, drew the bow, and were trained for war.

19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.

20 They received help against these enemies, and the Hagrites and all their allies were handed over to them, because they cried out to God in battle. He granted their request because they trusted in Him.

21 They captured the Hagrites' livestock-50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, and 2,000 donkeys-as well as 100,000 people.
