1 Chronicles 8:1
繁體中文
bản gốc tiếng anh
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.

1 Chronicles 8:6
繁體中文
「他們遷到瑪拿哈」——「他們」沒有先行詞，也很難補出一個。幾乎所有註釋家都認為這裏有某種訛誤；不過由此我們仍可推知，「以忽的眾子」（或可能是亞何亞的眾子，1 Chronicles 8:4）原先定居在迦巴（見 Joshua 18:24 的註釋），後來遷往一個名叫瑪拿哈的地方，大概是附近的一座城。基拉（1 Chronicles 8:7）指揮了這次遷移。
bản gốc tiếng anh
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.

1 Chronicles 8:8

「他休了她們之後」——應譯作：「他休了妻子戶伸和巴拉之後」。

After he had sent them away - Translate it: "after he had divorced his wives, Hushim and Baara."

1 Chronicles 8:28
繁體中文
「這些人都住在耶路撒冷」——耶路撒冷有一部分在便雅憫支派的境內（Joshua 18:28）；但直到被擄歸回之後，我們才聽說有便雅憫人居住在其中（1 Chronicles 9:3；Nehemiah 11:4）。
bản gốc tiếng anh
These dwelt in Jerusalem - Jerusalem was partly within the limits of the tribe of Benjamin Joshua 18:28; but we do not hear of Benjamites inhabiting it until after the return from the captivity 1 Chronicles 9:3; Nehemiah 11:4.

1 Chronicles 8:33
繁體中文
這一節與 1 Chronicles 9:35-39 合起來看，掃羅的家譜似乎應是：
亞別（即耶利？）——尼珥——基士——押尼珥——掃羅
而不是從 1 Samuel 9:1；1 Samuel 14:50-51 所推出的那種。
在 1 Samuel 14:49 的註釋中，我們曾斷定掃羅的次子兼有「伊施韋」和「亞比拿達」兩個名字。但這裏名字的次序：
(1) 約拿單；
(2) 麥基舒亞；以及
(3) 亞比拿達——
卻暗示另一種解釋：次子伊施韋早年夭折，而亞比拿達實在是第四子。
「伊施巴力」——在亞哈把腓尼基的巴力崇拜引入以色列以前，「巴力」（בעל ba‛al）一詞在希伯來文中並無貶義，只是較常用的「神」（אל 'êl）的同義詞（見 1 Chronicles 3:1 的註釋）。因此，當時使用「伊施巴力」（「神的人」）、「巴力」、「比利雅大」、「米力巴力」等名字，並不足為怪。後來這類名字使敬虔之人聽來刺耳，於是被改換，有的改得較好，有的改得較差：「比利雅大」改為「以利雅大」（「願神幫助」）；「伊施巴力」改為「伊施波設」（「羞辱之人」）；「米力巴力」改為「米非波設」等等。

This verse combined with 1 Chronicles 9:35-39, seems to show that the genealogy of Saul was:
Abiel ( equals Jehiel?) Ner Kish Abner Saul
Rather than that to be inferred from 1 Samuel 9:1; 1 Samuel 14:50-51.
In 1 Samuel 14:49 note, it is concluded that Saul's second son bore the two names of "Ishui" and "Abinadab." But the order of the names here:
(1) Jonathan;
(2) Malchi-shua; and
(3) Abinadab - suggests another explanation, namely, that Ishui, the second son, died young, and that Abinadab was really the fourth son.
Esh-baal - Previous to the introduction of the Phoenician Baal-worship into Israel by Ahab, the word "Baal" בעל ba‛al had no bad sense in Hebrew, but was simply an equivalent of the more ordinary אל 'êl, "God" (1 Chronicles 3:1 note). Hence, there is nothing strange in the use at this time of the names, "Esh-baal" ("man of God"), "Baal," "Beel-iada," "Merib-baal," etc. Later on such names became offensive to pious ears, and were changed for the better, or for the worse, "Beel-iada" becoming "El-iada" ("let God aid") - "Esh-baal," "Ish-bo-sheth" ("man of shame") - "Merib-baal," "Mephi-bosheth;" and the like.

1 Chronicles 8:40
繁體中文
「兒子、孫子」——從世代數目看，掃羅家的這份家譜大概屬於希西家的時代（對照 1 Chronicles 4:41）。烏蘭的「孫子」距約拿單是第十三代，正如希西家距大衛也是第十三代。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Sons, and sons' sons - This genealogy of the house of Saul appears by the number of the generations to belong probably to the time of Hezekiah (compare 1 Chronicles 4:41). Ulam's "sons' sons" are in the 13th generation from Jonathan, as Hezekiah is in the 13th generation from David.
這裏再次回到便雅憫人的家譜，原因似乎在於作者想要把家譜式的序言與本書的歷史主體連接起來。既然歷史敘述要從掃羅開始，家譜部分便以記述這位便雅憫君王的家系作結。
