Lìdaìzhìshàng 8:40 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 8:40

And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour
Men of great fortitude and courage, though their names are not expressed:

archers;
skilful in the use of the bow and arrows, as the Benjaminites formerly were famous for slinging stones:

and had many sons, and sons' sons, an hundred and fifty;
so that the posterity of Jonathan, whose genealogy is drawn down from ( 1 Chronicles 8:34 ) hither, were very great; and greater still, according to the Vulgate Latin version, in which the number is 150,000 in the edition of Sixtus the fifth, and so in most MSS of that version ^F19

all these are of the sons of Benjamin;
his posterity, whose names are given in this chapter.
