Study note
Setting — The Chronicler continues a tribal register to document the descendants of the Reubenite clans immediately after listing their kinsmen in 1 Chronicles 5:13. This verse operates as a direct continuation of that genealogical inventory.
The words — אֵ֣לֶּ֕ה ('E.leh) translates literally as "these," and בֶּן־ (ben-) means "son of." These terms establish the formal, repetitive structure of the record.
The thread — The verse sustains the genealogical thread of family descent that runs through the tribal registers of 1 Chronicles. It extends the structural pattern of tracing lineage found in 1 Chronicles 5:13 and 5:15.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to acknowledge a documented family line without adding narrative or theological commentary. It asks for recognition of the recorded continuity of the Abihail clan within the administrative inventory.
