Voici les enfants d'Échud; ils étaient chefs des maisons des pères des habitants de Guéba, et ils les transportèrent à Manachath:
Voici les fils d'Echud, qui étaient chefs de famille parmi les habitants de Guéba, et qui les transportèrent à Manachath:
Ce sont là les enfants d'Ehud. Ceux-là étaient chefs des pères des habitants de Guéba, qui furent transportés à Manahath.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Ehud: 1 Chronicles 7:10, Judges 3:20-30, Judges 4:1, Gera, Genesis 46:21
Geba: 1 Chronicles 6:60
Manahath: 1 Chronicles 2:25, 1 Chronicles 2:54
Reciprocal: Exodus 6:14 - the heads
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And these are the sons of Ehud,.... Not he that was a judge in Israel, Judges 3:15 but perhaps a son of Huram the last mentioned; for not the three last are his sons, as some think, but the three following in the next verse; what follows being to be read in a parenthesis:
(these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba;) a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 18:24 namely, those sons of Ehud, after mentioned, were principal men in that tribe, and chief of the inhabitants of the city of Geba:
and they removed them to Manahath; the name of a country referred to in 1 Chronicles 2:52 according to Jarchi, which was in the tribe of Judah; Geba being too small, either the inhabitants of Geba removed them, or they removed themselves, or their fathers removed them, 1 Chronicles 8:7, or it may be read impersonally, they were removed thither for the sake of a better habitation; the Targum adds,
"to the land of the house of Esau,''
to Edom; which is not likely.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And they removed them to Manahath - “They” has no antecedent; and it is difficult to supply one. Almost all commentators suppose that there has been some corruption here, from which, however, we may gather that the “sons of Ehud” (or, perhaps, of Ahoah, 1 Chronicles 8:4) were originally settled at Geba (Joshua 18:24 note), but afterward removed to a place called Manahath, probably a town in the vicinity. Gera 1 Chronicles 8:7 directed the movement.
