Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Benjamin begat Bela his firstborn,.... See 1 Chronicles 7:6. The genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin is reviewed, because it joined and kept close with Judah in the worship of God, went into captivity, and returned out of it with it; and this review is made chiefly for the sake of Saul, and his posterity, the first king of Israel, who was of it, and in whose posterity this genealogy ends:
Ashbel the second; supposed to be the same with Jediael, 1 Chronicles 7:6, see Genesis 46:21
and Aharah the third; the same with Aher, 1 Chronicles 7:13, and with Ahiram, Numbers 26:38.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The reason of this return to the genealogy of the Benjamites seems to be the desire to connect the genealogical introduction with the historical body of the work. As the history is to begin with Saul, the genealogical portion is made to end with an account of the family of this Benjamite monarch.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII
The genealogy of Benjamin down to Saul, 1-32.
The children and descendants of Saul, 33-40.
