THE FAMILIES OF GIBEON, ESPECIALLY THE ROYAL HOUSE OF SAUL
(1 Chronicles 8:29).

1 Chronicles 8:29 recur at 1 Chronicles 9:35.

(29) At Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon. — His name (Jehiel) has been accidentally omitted. (See 1 Chronicles 9:35.) The verb dwelt is plural, “they dwelt;” a sufficient indication that the “father of Gibeon” merely represents the original population of that place under a collective name. Maachah would be a place in the neighbourhood.

Gibeon. — Now el-Jib, about eight miles north-west of Jerusalem.
