Study note
Setting — The chronicler continues a genealogical register, shifting focus from the Levite chiefs residing in Jerusalem to a specific family line stationed in Gibeon.
The words — גִבְעוֹן (Gibeon) denotes the settlement location, while יָשְׁבּוּ (dwelt) records the family’s permanent residence there rather than a temporary sojourn.
The thread — This register mirrors the broader genealogical method of 1 Chronicles 2, which maps territorial holdings in 1 Chronicles 2:23 and lists direct descendants in 1 Chronicles 9:36.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to track how specific family names anchor to particular towns within the larger historical record.
