1 Chronicles 9:35

1 Chronicles 9:35 says, And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife's name was Maachah:  Gibeon's father was said to live in the land of Gibeon.  This seems to be a strange statement that he lived in a land named for his son, but if this was written later, it might have been by then.  Matthew Henry says it could have been an error in transcription, but though a redundancy, for whatever reason it is stated this way, we just need to accept it by faith.  This is the family that Saul, the first king of Israel, would come from.  Verse thirty-six adds, And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab.  Verse thirty-seven continues,  And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.  Verse thirty-eight concludes, And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, over against their brethren.  Here, we are told that these descendants of Jehiel lived near Jerusalem.  Verse thirty-nine states, And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.  We get to Saul, then follow with the sons of Jonathan and their children.  Verse forty adds, And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.  Verse forty-one continues, And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.  Verse forty-two says, And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;  Verse forty-three adds, And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.  Verse forty-four concludes, And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
