  1. 1 Chronicles 7:3 To get the total of five, Izrahiah must be included in the count.
  2. 1 Chronicles 7:11 That is, grandsons
  3. 1 Chronicles 7:12 Verse 12 is difficult. The -im ending usually indicates a group of people, not the name of a person, but in Genesis 46:21 Muppim and Huppim are sons of Benjamin. In Genesis 46:23 Hushim is a son of Dan. The list for Dan may be folded into the list for Benjamin. See also verse 15.
  4. 1 Chronicles 7:15 Literally for Huppim and Shuppim
  5. 1 Chronicles 7:16 According to verses 15 and 16, Ma’akah is named both as Makir’s sister and his wife. It is not clear if this refers to one woman or two. See 9:35 where Ma’a kah is Jeiel’s wife.
  6. 1 Chronicles 7:23 Beriah sounds like in trouble in Hebrew.
  7. 1 Chronicles 7:25 The words his son are missing from the Hebrew manuscripts.
