of Benjamin3 parallels

In the parallel place of Genesis , ten sons of Benjamin are reckoned , Bela , Becher , Ashbel , Gera , Naaman , Ehi , Rosh , Muppim , Huppim , and Ard; and in Numbers , five only are mentioned , Bela , Ashbel , Ahiraim , Shupham , and Hupham; and Ard and Naaman are said to be the sons of Bela , and consequently Benjamin's grandsons. In the beginning of the following chapter , also , five are only mentioned , Bela , Ashbel , Aharah , Nohah , and Rapha; and Addar , Gera , Abihud , Abishua , Naaman , Ahoha , another Gera , Shephuphan , and Huram , are all represented as grandsons , not sons of Benjamin. Hence we see that in many cases , grandsons are called sons , and both are often confounded in the genealogical tables. It seems , also , that the persons mentioned in the following #### Verses were neither sons nor grandsons of Bela and Becher , but distinguished persons among their descendants

Aher signifies another , and it has been conjectured that these were Danites , "the sons of another tribe;" especially as Hushim is named as the only son of Dan , Genesis 46 . 23. And they suppose that the name of Dan was not mentioned , because his descendants first established idolatry. But Zebulun , as well as Dan , is here omitted , perhaps because none of either of these tribes returned at first from Babylon. Though the Benjamites had been almost destroyed in the first days of the judges , they soon became numerous and powerful

The sons The text in these two #### Verses seems to be strangely corrupted; and , as it stands , is scarcely intelligible. Probably it should be rendered , "The sons of Manasseh were Ashriel , whom his Syrian concubine bore to him; and Machir the father of Gilead , whom . his wife bore to him. Machir took for a wife Maachah , sister to Huppim and Shuppim." This is nearly the version of Dr. Geddes.

1 Chronicles 7:15

Machir took a wife from among the Huppites and Shuppites. The name of his sister was Maacah. Another descendant was named Zelophehad, who had only daughters.

because they came Or rather , "when כי [Strong's H3588] , (kee) they came down to take away their cattle;" for it does not appear that the sons of Ephraim were the aggressors , but the men of Gath , who appear to have been born in Egypt. This is the only place in the Sacred Writings where this piece of history is mentioned , and the transaction seems to have happened before the Israelites came out of Egypt; for it appears from the following #### Verse , that Ephraim was alive when these children of his were slain.
