Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 4:30 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(30) Bethuel.—Called Chesil in Jos_15:30; Jos_19:4 has Bethûl, a contraction like Hamul for Hamuel (1Ch_4:26; comp. 1Ch_2:5).

Hormah.—The ancient Zephath (Jdg_1:17), now Sepata.

Ziklag.—Now Kasluj, east of Sepata (Jos_15:30-31; 1Sa_27:6).

Discussion questions

  1. The word Chormâh carries the sense “Hormah.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. Numbers 14:45 shares the word «Hormah» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. Reading how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
