47 And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
47 Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
47 Hadad died; Samlah from Masrekah was the next king.
47 When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
47 When Hadad died, Samlah from the city of Masrekah became king in his place.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:47
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:28-54
(Read 1 Chronicles 1:28-54)
The genealogy is from hence confined to the posterity of Abraham. Let us take occasion from reading these lists of names, to think of the multitudes that have gone through this world, have done their parts in it, and then quitted it. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes. Ecclesiastes 1:4; Numbers 32:14, and will do so while the earth remains. Short is our passage through time into eternity. May we be distinguished as the Lord's people.
