Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“An almost exact repetition of 1 Chronicles 8:29-38; and probably intentionally made by the author. In order to connect the genealogical section of his work with the historical, he re-introduces the genealogy of the person with whose death his historical section opens. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain.

“Shimeam: Shimeam seems to be a mistake for Shimeah; the only difference being ם, mem final, and ה, hay; and the LXX in both places read Σαμαα, Samaa. Ch1 8:32, Shimeah 1 Chronicles 9:39”
