33 And Ner begat Kish, and Kish begat Saul, and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchi-Shua, and Abinadab, and Esh-Baal. 34 And a son of Jonathan 'is' Merib-Baal, and Merib-Baal begat Micah; 35 and sons of Micah: Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz: 36 and Ahaz begat Jehoadah, and Jehoadah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza, 37 and Moza begat Binea, Raphah 'is' his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son. 38 And to Azel 'are' six sons, and these 'are' their names: Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these 'are' sons of Azel. 39 And sons of Eshek his brother: Ulam his first-born, Jehush the second, and Eliphelet the third. 40 And the sons of Ulam are men mighty in valour, treading bow, and multiplying sons and son's sons, a hundred and fifty. All these 'are' of the sons of Benjamin.

Genealogies.
Here is a larger list of Benjamin's tribe. We may suppose that many things in these genealogies, which to us seem difficult, abrupt, and perplexed, were plain and easy at that time, and fully answered the intention for which they were published. Many great and mighty nations then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose names are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israel of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the just is blessed.
