7:1–40 Other Northern Tribes. This chapter contains briefer details of those tribes, including part of Benjamin that belonged to the old northern kingdom of Israel. Their lands were no longer under Israelite control at the time of the Chronicler’s writing.
1 Chron 7:1–5 The list of the descendants of Issachar is composed from Gen. 46:13, Num. 26:23–25, and a military census from David’s reign (1 Chron. 7:2–5; see ch. 21).
1 Chron 7:6–12 These details of Benjamin differ from other lists (Gen. 46:21; Num. 26:38–39; 1 Chron. 8:1–3) and come mainly from military registers (7:7, 9, 11).
1 Chron 7:13 Drawn from Gen. 46:24 and Num. 26:48–49. Details for Dan and Zebulun are missing, probably because of incomplete records.
1 Chron 7:14–19 This section concerns the half of Manasseh that lived west of the Jordan. Details are from Num. 26:29–33 and Josh. 17:1–3. This genealogy places a particular emphasis on women. Maacah is called the sister of Machir in 1 Chron. 7:15, then his wife in v. 16; but “sister/brother” can often mean “relative” in the OT.
1 Chron 7:15 and Zelophehad had daughters. See Num. 26:33; 27:1–11.
1 Chron 7:20–29 The list of ancestors for Joshua, the most famous Ephraimite, is given in vv. 20–27 (from Num. 26:35). A historical note (1 Chron. 7:21b–24) probably refers to the postconquest period: the building of Lower and Upper Beth-horon fits better with the time of tribal settlement. In this case, Ephraim (v. 22) would refer not to the patriarch but to a later descendant. Gath may be Gittaim, on the Ephraimite border. Verses 28–29 draw on Joshua 16–17 for details of the settlements of Ephraim and Manasseh, since both tribes descended from Joseph.
1 Chron 7:30–40 Genesis 46:17, Num. 26:44–46, and details from a military register (1 Chron. 7:40) provide the information for Asher. The total of fighting men for Asher (26,000, v. 40) is significantly less than that in Moses’ day (Num. 26:47).
