Sons of Joel. The line of Joel is traced in vs. 4-6 to the time of Tiglath-pileser (745-727 B.C.). Since only eight generations are given, there must be large gaps in this genealogical line.

Thirty years old. For the relationship between the ages of David and Saul see p. 132. Since David reigned 40 years, he was 70 years old at his death, described as “a good old age” (1 Chron. 29:28), probably from the point of view of one who had lived a strenuous life.
