Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:28

Theological / Devotional

Heads of the fathers. That is, heads of leading family groups or clans.

Dwelt in Jerusalem. Jerusalem was inhabited partly by descendants of Benjamin and partly by those of Judah (see 1 Chron. 9:3; Neh. 11:4). The five groups of Benjamites mentioned in 1 Chron. 8:14-28 dwelt in Jerusalem, in contrast with the preceding groups who dwelt in scattered areas about Jerusalem, as far away as Lydda, 24 mi. northwest of Jerusalem, and Moab (1 Chron. 8:12, 8).
