Study note
Setting — The Chronicler lists warriors who joined David’s forces at his wilderness stronghold. This verse names two specific men within that roster of defectors.
The words — בְּנֵ֥י (be.Nei) = sons of; הַ/גְּדֽוֹר (ha./ge.Dor) = Gedor.
The thread — Gedor appears in Joshua 15:58 as a Judean town and in 1 Chronicles 4:39 as a location sought for pasture. The name Jeroham is absent from 1 Chronicles 4:18, which instead records Jered.
Why it lands — The text records a specific family’s geographic origin without commentary. Readers must note how local lineage markers function as mere identifiers in the Chronicler’s military census.
