48 And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
48 Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates reigned in his place.
48 Samlah died; Shaul from Rehoboth-by-the-River was the next king.
48 And when Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place.
48 When Samlah died, Shaul from the city of Rehoboth-on-the-River became king in his place.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:48
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.
