John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And of the Shilonites, etc.] Not called so from the city of Shiloh, which was in Ephraim; whereas these here intended were of the tribe of Judah, and were either the descendants of a man whose name was Shiloni, (<161105>Nehemiah 11:5) or rather these are the same with the Shelanites, (<042620>Numbers 26:20) so called from Shelah the son of Judah; and so the Targum here is, “and of the tribe of Shelah:” Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons; the same with Maaseiah, (<161105>Nehemiah 11:5).”
