Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And the sons of Shimon,.... Perhaps another son of Mered by his last wife, or the same with Shammai, 1-Chronicles 4:17 were
Amnon, and Rinnah, Benhanan, and Tilon; nowhere else mentioned:
and the sons of Ishi: who it may be was the brother of Shimon or Tilon: were
Zoheth, and Benzoheth; of whom we know no more than their names.

Of Shimon and his four sons, also, nothing is known. בּן־חנן is one name. Ishi is often met with, e.g., 1-Chronicles 4:42 and 1-Chronicles 2:31, but nowhere in connection with Zoheth (not further noticed). The names of the sons are wanting after בּן־זוחת.
