John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And Shebuel the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was ruler of the treasures.] This is the first time that any of the posterity of Moses are taken notice of, as being in any office of honour, authority, and trust; by the Targum he is said to be Jonathan, spoken of in (<071830>Judges 18:30) but very wrongly; this man, according to Jarchi and Kimchi, had all the treasures and treasurers under him.”
