Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a genealogical register for the tribe of Benjamin, inserting this line between two verses that catalog a patriarch’s sons by different wives.
The words — אֵ֥לֶּה ('E.leh) = these, and בָנָ֖י/ו (va.Na/v) = sons/his, function as a grammatical hinge that identifies the preceding names as offspring.
The thread — This verse continues the Chronicler’s method of documenting tribal lineages by pairing personal names with social titles, a pattern visible in 1 Chronicles 9:35-44 and the parallel genealogical lists in 1 Samuel 9:1.
Why it lands — Readers must treat the verse as a structural marker in a family register, noting how the text uses lineage to establish familial status without narrative elaboration.
