Sons of Benjamin. Verses 6 to 12 list the clans of Benjamin together with the census. Only three names are here given, whereas 1 Chron. 8:1,2, and Num. 26:38, 39 list five sons of Benjamin, and Gen. 46:21 lists ten. All lists name Bela first but differ in regard to other names.

Theological / Devotional

Whereas. Or “for” or “because.” The reason why David should not build the house for God is here given.

Since the time. It was now about 450 years since the Exodus (see on 1 Kings 6:1). During that time the tabernacle had been the earthly dwelling place of God. It had frequently been moved from place to place, and even now the time had not yet arrived for a permanent place of worship for the children of Israel. These temporary arrangements having continued for so long a time, a tent could suffice for a little while longer until arrangements could be made for the building of the Temple.
