Verse 28

firstborn . 1 Chronicles 5 . 1 , Leviticus 27 . 26 , Genesis 14 . 20 , Here there is an ellipsis of the name of the firstborn , which the margin correctly supplies as Joel. The word Vashni when otherwise pointed means "second ," so that the #### Verse more properly reads "And the sons of Samuel; the firstborn (Joel) and the second Abiah."

Vashni . i.e. Jah is strong; wherefore , sleep thou; changed; my year; second; liberal gift of the Lord , [Strong's H2059]. It appears that the Joel is here lost out of the text; and that washni , which signifies "and the second ," and which refers to Abiah , is made into a proper name. The Syriac and Arabic read as in Samuel. The marginal references contain the variation in the names given to the same persons , in different parts of sacred history , as far as it can be ascertained; and nearly the whole , that is at present known concerning them , may be learned by carefully consulting them. 1 Chronicles 6 . 33 , 1 Samuel 8 . 2 , Joel

While it is sufficiently evident that many of the variations of the names of persons have arisen from the carelessness of transcribers , or the inattention of translators , and others from a difference . probably dialectical in the pronunciation; it is also evident , that the same persons , as in these instances , must have had two or more totally distinct names . 1 Chronicles 6 . 24 , Shaul , Uzziah , Uriel.

Verse 70

Aner . Aner is probably another name of Tanach , which was a city of the half tribe of Manasseh , west of Jordan; and Eusebius , Jerome , and Procopius of Gaza , say that it was in their time a considerable place , three miles from Legio. Joshua 21 . 25 , Tanach , Gath-rimmon

Bileam . i.e. devouring; foreigner , [Strong's H1109]. Compare the same Hebrew word rendered Balaam. Numbers 22 . 5 , Ibleam is here called Bileam , by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident , however , that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but , as it has been well observed , Salop and Shrewsbury , Sarum and Salisbury , are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim , which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages. Joshua 17 . 11 , Ibleam , Judges 1 . 27
