Gill's Notes on the Bible

All these of the sons of Obededom,.... And grandsons:

they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service; men of fortitude of mind and strength of body, as before observed: were

sixty two of Obededom: that sprung from him, which the Jews s account for in an extravagant manner, as the effect of miraculous births.

s T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 63. 2. & 64. 1.
