1 Chronicles 26:30

And of the Hebronites, Hashabiah. — Rather, As to the Hebronites, Hashabiah, and his kinsmen, sons of valour (1 Chronicles 26:7), a thousand and seven hundred, were charged with (Heb., over) the supervision of Israel on yonder side of the Jordan, westward, for all the work of Iahweh and for the service of the king.

Officers. — Pĕquddah (oversight, superintendence). Vulg., praeërant Israeli: LXX., ἐπὶ τῆς ἐπισκέψεως τοῦ Ισραηλ. (See 1 Chronicles 23:11; 1 Chronicles 24:19 for another meaning of the word.)

Hashabiah. — A Kohathite of this name is not mentioned elsewhere.

On this side Jordan. — Rather, on the other side (‘çber): the western side of the river is so called in Joshua 5:1; Joshua 22:7. The use of this expression here seems to imply that the source upon which the chronicle is here dependent, was written in some locality east of the Jordan, perhaps at Babylon.
