8:1–40 The Tribe of Benjamin. A second, more detailed genealogy of this tribe has little in common with the earlier list (7:6–12) and serves a different function. Judah and Benjamin formed the core of the community in Jerusalem and Judah after the exile (see Ezra 1:5; Neh. 11:4–9). Most details in this section are probably from preexilic sources.
1 Chron 8:1–7 These are the descendants of the famous judge Ehud (Judg. 3:15), who settled in the Benjaminite city of Geba (see 1 Kings 15:22) before their removal to Manahath (probably in Judah).
1 Chron 8:8–27 These are the descendants of Elpaal, who led a westward expansion into the coastal plain (vv. 12–13) and settled in Jerusalem (v. 28).
1 Chron 8:29–40 This is the genealogy of the most famous Benjaminite family, Saul and his descendants, through 15 generations. (Ner, in 1 Sam. 14:50, has the same name as Saul’s ancestor.) The first section of the list is probably of early preexilic origin, since it contains names that would have been unacceptable in later times because of possible pagan connections (Baal, 1 Chron. 8:30; Eshbaal, v. 33, is known elsewhere as Ishbosheth, 2 Sam. 2:8; and Merib-baal, 1 Chron. 8:34, is known as Mephibosheth, 2 Sam. 4:4; see note on 2 Sam. 4:4).
