The sons and chief men of Benjamin33. The stock of Saul and Jonathan Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab Shaharaim is a lesser-known figure in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin. The mention of Moab is significant, as Moab was a neighboring nation east of the Dead Sea, often in conflict with Israel. The Moabites descended from Lot, Abraham's nephew, and were generally seen as outsiders to the covenant community of Israel. This phrase indicates that Shaharaim had a connection with Moab, possibly through marriage or residence, which was not uncommon given the intermingling of peoples in the region. The presence of his sons in Moab suggests a blending of cultures and possibly a strategic alliance or refuge during a time of conflict. after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points Understanding GenealogiesGenealogies in the Bible are not just lists of names; they provide insights into historical, cultural, and spiritual contexts. Shaharaim's account reminds us of the importance of understanding our spiritual heritage. The Complexity of Relationships Shaharaim's divorces and subsequent actions in Moab highlight the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of personal decisions.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from 1 Chronicles 8In 1 Chronicles 8:8, how historically or archaeologically verifiable is the claim that Shaharaim fathered children in Moab? In 1 Chronicles 8:29-40, do the numerous names and generations have any external corroboration, or could this genealogy have been constructed later to support certain tribal claims? In 1 Chronicles 18:4, how do we reconcile the figure of 7,000 horsemen with 2 Samuel 8:4, which mentions 1,700 instead? In what year of King Asa's reign did Baasha, King of Israel die? Twenty-sixth year (I Kings 15:33 - 16:8) Still alive in the thirty-sixth year (2 Chronicles 16:1)(8) And Shaharaim begat children in the country of Moab.--Shaharaim is apparently out of all connection with the other Benjamite houses. He has been identified with Ahi-Shahar, 1Chronicles 7:10, because his name has a similar meaning, and even with the mysterious Aher (hypothetically Shaher) of 1Chronicles 7:12. It is simpler to suppose that weeth-Shaharaim, "and Shaharaim," has dropped out at the end of 1Chronicles 8:7 (see Note on 1Chronicles 8:31). Expelled from Geba, Shaharaim found a refuge in Moab. (Comp. Ruth 1; 1Samuel 22:3-4.) After he had sent them away; Hushim and Baara were his wives.--The Heb. is certainly corrupt. The easiest correction is to read 'eth-Hushim instead of 'otham Hushim: "and Shaharaim begat in the country of Moab, after divorcing Hushim and Baara his wives, he begat (1Chronicles 8:9) of Hodesh his wife, Jobab," &c. This is supported by the LXX. The emigration of the clan Shaharaim, from its old home in Geba of Benjamin is called a divorce, in the figurative style of these genealogies; just as the amalgamation of clans is marriage. Hushim, in 1Chronicles 7:12, is a Benjamite clan. In Moab, Shaharaim branched off into seven clans, whose names are given in 1Chronicles 8:9-10. . . . Verse 8. - Shaharaim. It has been proposed, in the utter obscurity here, to add this name as a third to Uzza and Ahihud. This may be a way out, but if so, instead of repeating "and Shaharaim," it might be more natural to keep the former enigmatic nominative and object to begat, whether Ehud or Gera. There can be little doubt that a copyist's error has given us them (אֹתָם) in place of אֶת, in the latter part of this verse, before the names of the wives. The sentence then would translate, "after his sending away [whether by divorce or not] Hushim and Baara his wives."Parallel Commentaries ...
