Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And their genealogy - Rather, "and their register was according thereto" - they were registered, i. e. according to the places where they dwelt.

And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto Baal,.... The same with Baalathbeer, Joshua 19:8.
these were their habitations, and their genealogy; as before described, until the times of David.

Concerning the villages belonging to these cities, cf. on Joshua 19:8, where for בּעל we have the more accurate בּאר בּעלת, and Ramah of the south. The position of these places has not yet been certainly ascertained. "These are their dwelling-places, and their family register was to them;" i.e., although they were only a small tribe and dwelt in the midst of Judah, they yet had their own family register (Berth.). התיחשׂ infin. is used substantively, "the entering in the family register."
