Study note
Setting — The chronicler compiles a genealogical record for the tribe of Benjamin, moving from ancestral names to the specific families established in Jerusalem.
The words — הוֹלִ֣יד (ho.Lid) translates literally as "he fathered," establishing direct patrilineal descent, while נֶ֧גֶד (Ne.ged) literally means "before" or "beside," indicating physical proximity to kin.
The thread — This family record appears identically in 1 Chronicles 9:38, where the chronicler repeats the lineage to document the residents of the post-exilic capital.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to verify tribal inheritance and geographic settlement by tracking named ancestors and their documented locations.
