1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 8:29 This is the genealogy of the most famous Benjaminite family, Saul and his descendants, through 15 generations. (Ner, in 1 Samuel 14:50, has the same name as Saul’s ancestor.) The first section of the list is probably of early preexilic origin, since it contains names that would have been unacceptable in later times because of possible pagan connections (Baal, 1 Chronicles 8:30; Eshbaal, v. 1 Chronicles 8:33, is known elsewhere as Ishbosheth, 2 Samuel 2:8; and Merib-baal, 1 Chronicles 8:34, is known as Mephibosheth, 2 Samuel 4:4; see note on 2 Sam. 4:4).
