And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men went to Mount Seir, etc.] In the land of Edom: having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi; these four captains are said, by the ancient Rabbins, to be of the tribe of Manasseh, as Kimchi observes; (see <130524>1 Chronicles 5:24) but as the five hundred they were at the head of were of the sons of Simeon, the captains, no doubt, were of the same race.
