Gill's Notes on the Bible

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sons of Jaaziah, Beno - Beno is not really a name. It is the Hebrew for “his son,” and is to be attached to Jaaziah. Translate 1 Chronicles 24:27, “and the sons of Merari by Jaaziah his son (were) Shoham and Zaccur, and Ibri.” The meaning of the whole passage 1 Chronicles 24:26-30 seems to be that there were three branches of the Merarites the Beni-Mahli, the Beni-Mushi, and the Beni-Jaaziah.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 24:26. The sons of Merari — It is remarkable that not a word is here spoken of the family of Gershom.
