firstborn. 5:1 Le 27:26 Ge 14:20 Here there is an ellipsis of the name of the firstborn, which the margin correctly supplies as Joel. The word {Vashni} when otherwise pointed means second, so that the verse more properly reads And the sons of Samuel; the firstborn (Joel) and the second Abiah.
Vashni. i.e., Jah is strong; wherefore, sleep thou; changed; my year; second; liberal gift of the Lord
It appears that the Joel is here lost out of the text; and that {washni}, which signifies and the second, and which refers to Abiah, is made into a proper name. The Syriac and Arabic read as in Samuel. The marginal references contain the variation in the names given to the same persons, in different parts of sacred history, as far as it can be ascertained; and nearly the whole, that is at present known concerning them, may be learned by carefully consulting them.

(1) A man of Judah, family of Zerah, house of Ethan, 1 Ch 2:8.
(2) A Levite, family of Kohath, line of Izhar, and an ancestor of Samuel the prohpet and Heman the singer, 1 Ch 6:36; perhaps 2 Ch 29:12.
(3) One of Solomon's officials, son of the high priest Zadok, and brother of Ahimaaz, 1 Ki 4:2.
(4) Grandson of Zadok and son of Ahimaaz, in the line of high-priestly succession, 1 Ch 6:9.
(5) Son of Nathan, and hence probably Solomon's nephew (2 Sa 5:14), who was over Solomon's twelve tax-collectors, 1 Ki 4:5.
(6) A prophet, son of Obed, who encouraged king Asa to persevere in national religious reformation. 2Ch 15:1-8
(7) Two sons of king Jehoshaphat, 2 Ch 21:2. The recurrence of the same name in the family is surprising. It may be due to an early corruption of the text; or, if the text is correct, to a difference of mother, the two boys being half-brothers (Compare the Herods). It cannot be explained by the theory that the younger was named after a deceased elder brother, for the two seem to have been alive together and to have been put to death at the same time (Davis).
(8) A man of Judah, family of Hezron, house of Jerahmeel, 1 Ch 2:38, 39. His grandfather was Obed (1 Ch 2:38); hence he was perhaps the captain Azariah, son of Obed, who assisted in overthrowing Athaliah and placing Joash on the throne, 2 Ch 23:1.
(9) Another captain, son of Jeroham, who aided in overthrowing Athaliah, 2 Ch 23:1.
(10) A prince of Ephraim, son of Johanan, who aided in persuading the soldiers of Pekah's army to release the captives of Judah, 2 Ch 28:12.
(11) A king of Judah, called also Uzziah (B.C. 811-759), 2 Ch 22:6; 23:1. 2Ki 14:21 15:1 *Compare with 2Ch 26:1
(12) A high priest, 1 Ch 6:10; probably he who rebuked Uzziah for encroaching on the priest's office. 2Ch 26:17-20
(13) A high priest during Hezekiah's reign, possibly the same as (12), 2 Ch 31:10, 13.
(14) A Levite, family of Merari, who assisted in purifying the temple in Hezekiah's reign, 2 Ch 29:12.
(15) A high priest, son of Hilkiah and father of Seraiah, not long before the exile, 1 Ch 6:13, 14; perphaps 9:11.
(16) A son of Hoshaiah and an opponent of the prophet Jeremiah. Jer 43:2
(17) The Hebrew and original name of Abednego, Da 1:7.
(18) Grandfather of Ezra, Ezr 7:1.
(19) A prominent person, probably prince of Judah, who marched in the procession at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. Ne 12:32,33
(20) A son of Maaseiah, who had a house at Jerusalem in Nehemiah's time, and repaired the wall in its immediate vicinity. Ne 3:23,24
(21) A priest, doubtless head of a father's house, who in the days of Nehemiah sealed the covenant to keep separate from foreigners and observe the law of God, Ne 10:2.
(22) A descendant of Hilkiah who was ruler of the house of God after the exile, 1 Ch 9:11; see however, Seraiah. Ne 11:11
(23) A king of Israel (not Uzziah), called Azariah in which is given in the next verse, 2 Ch 22:6, 7; 2Ch 22:7 *compare 2Ki 8:29 *(adapted from Davis Dictionary of the Bible, pp: 66, 67.
Zephaniah. Zep 1:1 While it is sufficiently evident that many of the variations of the names of persons have arisen from the carelessness of transcribers, or the inattention of translators, and others from a difference (probably dialectical) in the pronunciation (Jud 12:6; 2 Ki 8:21); it is also evident, that the same persons, as in these instances, must have had two or more totally distinct names.

39 And his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, even Asaph the son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea,

Jos 10:2 15:55 21:16,17 1Ch 14:16 None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.

Bileam. i.e., devouring; foreigner Compare the same Hebrew word rendered Balaam. Nu 22:5 Ibleam is here called Bileam, by a transposition of letters common to all languages. It is evident, however, that many of these cities or their names have been changed since the time of Joshua; but, as it has been well observed, Salop and Shrewsbury, Sarum and Salisbury, are as different names as any in these catalogues; yet those who live in their vicinity are not at all confused by them. Some cities also are here mentioned as belonging to Ephraim, which in Joshua are spoken of as cities of Dan; but various changes in such matters would occur in a course of ages.
