A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 9:5 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

1Ch 9:5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.

Ver. 5. And the Shilonites.] The posterity of Shelah, son of Judah. {a} {Gen 38:5}

{a} A Lapide.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(5) And of the Shilonites.—Shilonite means “man of Shiloh,” the ancient capital of Ephraim; whereas 1Ch_9:4-6 have to do with Judah. The three sons of Judah, after whom three great sub-tribal divisions were named, were Pharez, Shelah, and Zarah (Genesis 38). The clan of Shelah was called the Shelanite (Num_26:20), and that is doubtless the correct reading here (see 1Ch_2:3; 1Ch_4:21), supported as it is by the LXX. (Σηλωνι) and the Targum.

Asaiah (“Jah hath wrought”) is essentially the same as “Maaseiah” (“Work of Jah”) in Neh_11:5, where six progenitors are enumerated.

The firstborn.—That is, the leading clan.

His sons.—The members of the clan.

The Shilonites. These are the descendants of Shelah, youngest son of Judah. In place of the one name Asaiah here, Nehemiah (Neh_11:7) gives a list of seven, among which Maassiah is found, answering to our Asaiah.

1 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 5 words (5 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Shîylôwnîy (“Shilonite”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Shîylôwnîy carries the sense “Shilonite.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does 1 Kings 11:29, which shares the word «Shilonite», read alongside this verse?
  3. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  4. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
