1 Chronicles 9:36

WEB

His firstborn son was Abdon, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

BSB

Abdon was his firstborn son, then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

KJV

And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,

Matthew Henry

Verses 35–44

1 Chronicles 9:35–44

These verses are the very same with Ch1 8:29-38, giving an account of the ancestors of Saul and the posterity of Jonathan. There it is the conclusion of the genealogy of Benjamin; here it is an introduction to the story of Saul. We take the repetition as we find it; but if we admit that there are in the originals, especially in these books, some errors of the transcribers, I should be tempted to think this repetition arose from a blunder. Some one, in copying out these genealogies, having written those words, Ch1 9:34 (These dwelt in Jerusalem), cast his eye on the same words, Ch1 8:28 (These dwelt in Jerusalem), and so went on with what followed there, instead of going on with what followed here; and, when he perceived his mistake, was loth to make a blot in his book, and so let it stand. We have a rule in our law, Redundans non nocet - Redundancies do no harm.
