1Ch 9:7. Sallu the son of Meshullam — Who is mentioned, but described by other parents, (Neh 11:7,) or at least by persons under other names. Possibly these were his more immediate, and those his more remote parents: or he might be begotten by the one, and adopted by the other. For it is certain that men are sometimes, in Scripture, called the sons of those that adopted them, or whose right of inheritance fell to them.

(7) And of the sons of Benjamin.—The parallel passage (Neh_11:7) starts with “Sallu the son of Me-shullam,” but continues, “the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah,” and carries the ancestry four generations further back.

The son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah.—Perhaps we should read “and Hodaviah,” instead of “son of Hodaviah.” (See Note on 1Ch_9:9-10.) The name Hodaviah, which occurred 1Ch_5:24, is a peculiar Aramaizing form of Hoduyah (“Thank the Lord”). Perhaps here the true reading is wîhudah. “and Judah.” Comp. Neh_11:9, “Judah the son of Senuali” (Heb. ha-Senuah).

the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah] Some critics would read “and Hodaviah the son of Hasenuah” and would identify this person with the “Judah the son of Has-senuah” of Neh_11:9.

Salu the son of Meshullam, who is mentioned, but described by other parents, Neh 11:7, or at least by persons under other names. Possibly these were his more immediate, and those his more remote parents; or he might be born of one, and adopted by another. For this is certain, men are sometimes in Scripture called the sons of those who adopted them, or whose right of inheritance fell to them.
