And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 9:37
(35-44) A duplicate of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38. The genealogy of Saul seems to be repeated, according to the chronicler’s habit (comp. 1 Chronicles 6:4 et seq. with 1 Chronicles 6:50 et seq.; 1 Chronicles 7:6 et seq. with 1 Chronicles 8:1 et seq.), as a transition or introduction to something else, viz., the account of that king’s final ruin in 1 Chronicles 10. The present list is identical with the former, so far as it extends (1 Chronicles 8:39-40 is wanting here), but is, on the whole, in better preservation, supplying, as we have seen, several omissions in the other copy. Only the name of Ahaz has fallen out (1 Chronicles 9:41). The correspondence of the two lists appears to be too exact to justify an assumption of different original sources; but the chronicler may have found the repetition already existing in the principal document from which he drew his materials.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 9:37
35–38 (= 1 Chronicles 8:29-32). Benjamites living in Gibeon and in Jerusalem See notes on 1 Chronicles 8:29 ff. The passage is probably repeated here in ler to serve as an introduction to the story of the death of Saul.
Whedon's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 9:37
35-44. This register is substantially identical with that of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38, and is repeated here to form a transition to the account of Saul’s death, which the writer inserts, in chap.
