EXPLANATION

Verse 6. Benjamin; a man, perhaps, of the tribe of Issachar. See verse 10. Or the patriarch had originally ten sons, (Genesis 46:21) or grandsons, five of whom only had children, and perhaps tow of their families perished entirely in the war with the other tribes; (Judges 20:46) so that, under David, only three branches were acknowledged. Calmet.—Jadihel, or Asbel in Genesis.
