ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. He had not a first-born. That is, his first-born was either dead or not fit to be chief, and therefore he made Semri the chief, ( Worthington. Challoner.) who was the second son ( Tirinus.) of Hosa. Hebrew “for, or though he was not the first-born, yet his father made him chief.” Septuagint add, “of the second division,” but without reason, as they interpret, “keeping the command,” instead of Semri, the chief, which leaves us without a proper name.
