੧ ਤਵਾਰੀਖ਼ 4:27

ਬਾਇਬਲ

27 ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦੇ 16 ਪੁੱਤਰ ਅਤੇ 6 ਧੀਆਂ ਸਨ ਪਰ ਸ਼ਿਮਈ ਦੇ ਭਰਾਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਘਰ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਨ ਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਘਰਾਣੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡੇ ਸੀ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੁਲਾਂ ਯਹੂਦਾਹ ਦੇ ਬਾਕੀ ਪਰਿਵਾਰ-ਸਮੂਹਾਂ ਵਾਂਗ ਬਹੁਤੀਆਂ ਵੱਡੀਆਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਸਨ।

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters,.... None of which are mentioned by name:

but his brethren had not many children: Hamuel and Zacchur:

neither did all their family multiply like to the children of Judah: to show the fruitfulness and great increase of which tribe, the genealogical account of it, in this and the two preceding chapters, is given.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 4:27. Neither did all their family multiply — In Numbers 1:23 the number of all the families of Simeon was fifty-nine thousand three hundred; and that of Judah was, Numbers 1:27, not less than seventy-four thousand six hundred. When the next census was made, Numbers 26:0, the tribe of Judah amounted to seventy-six thousand five hundred, an increase of one thousand nine hundred; while the tribe of Simeon amounted only to twenty-two thousand two hundred, a decrease of thirty-seven thousand one hundred. It was at that time the smallest tribe in Israel.
