32

Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 32. Jonathan. David’s nephew, (1 Par.) of the sons of Assem, a Gezonite. This ought, perhaps, to be “Gouni, of the sons,” and so forth otherwise the name will be lost, contrary to the design of the sacred writer. The verse is not terminated at Jonathan. But he was the son of Sage, (or rather of Semma, as here, verse 33) an Ararite. 1 Par. Bible.—Sage was also the son of Samma, (verse 11,) as Sage and Age are visibly the same; ( Calmet.) though of this we may doubt. Bible.
