Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 24:26
[See comments on 2 Chronicles 24:20]
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:26
Jaaziah; the son either of Mahli; or rather, of Mushi last named; for Mahli’ s posterity comes .
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:26
(26) The sons of Merari.—1 Chronicles 24:26-30 : the Merarite heads. (Comp. 1 Chronicles 23:21-23.) The sons of Jaaziah; Beno.—Beno is the Hebrew for “his son,” and can hardly be a proper name. The clause should be connected immediately with what follows in 1 Chronicles 24:27, and the whole translated thus: “The sons of Jaaziah his son—that is, sons of Merari belonging to Jaaziah his son—were Shoham, and Zaccur, and Ibri.” Jaaziah appears as a third son of Merari, not mentioned elsewhere. (See Note on 1 Chronicles 23:23.) If the Hebrew text is substantially sound, it is implied that there existed in the days of David a group of Merarite houses calling themselves “sons of Jaaziah.” The construction here suggested involves the rejection of the conjunction before “Shoham” in 1 Chronicles 24:27, and the removal of the paragraphic sign at the beginning of the verse.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:26
Verse 26. The sons of Merari] It is remarkable that not a word is here spoken of the family of Gershom.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 24:26
26. The sons of Merari] In 1 Chronicles 23:21 only two families of Merari are mentioned, viz., Mahli and Mushi. Here however a third family “the sons of Jaaziah” is mentioned. Probably the fuller text is right. Beno] Translate “his son”; the word describes Jaaziah as son of Merari; cp. 1 Chronicles 24:27.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:26
The sons of Jaaziah, Beno - Beno is not really a name. It is the Hebrew for “his son,” and is to be attached to Jaaziah.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:26
26. The sons of Jaaziah — This Jaaziah is not to be regarded as a third son of Merari, of the same generation with Mahli and Mushi, but probably a younger descendant, selected by lot to complete the
