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 these names were written in the family history of Gad during the time Jotham was king of Judah and Jeroboam was king of Israel.

18 There were forty-four thousand seven hundred sixty soldiers from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and East Manasseh who carried shields and swords and bows. They were skilled in war.

19 They started a war against the Hagrites and the people of Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab.

20 The men from the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben, and Gad prayed to God during the war, asking him to help them. So he help-ed them because they trusted him. He handed over to them the Hagrites and all those who were with them.

21 They took the animals that belonged to the Hagrites: fifty thousand camels, two hundred fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand donkeys. They also captured one hundred thousand people.
