Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 8:32
And Mikloth begat Shimeah,.... Called Shimeam, 1 Chronicles 9:38 and these also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against them; in another part of the city, right beside them.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 8:32
And at Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon; whose wife's name was Maachah: No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:32
With their brethren, i.e. with those other Benjamites spoken of . Over against them; in some street or part of Jerusalem, which was over against that where their brethren dwelt.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:32
(32) Shimeah is essentially the same word as Shimeam (1 Chronicles 9:38). The latter is a mimmated form (i.e., a more ancient form of the noun, with the original ending m). And these also dwelt with their brethren in Jerusalem, over against them.—Literally, And they also, before their brethren, dwelt in Jerusalem with their brethren. The verse seems to tell us that of all the stock of Gibeon only the branch of Mikloth-Shimeah settled in Jerusalem. When, we are not informed. Some think the reference is to the repeopling of Jerusalem after the Restoration (Nehemiah 11:1). “Before their brethren.”—Before in Heb. means east, as behind means west. The clans in question dwelt in Jerusalem, to the east of their fellow-tribesmen in Gibeon. With their brethren—that is, with the other Benjamite clans settled in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 8:16-28).
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 8:32
