Theme

Benjamin receives unusual attention in Chronicles because it anchors both the memory of Saul and the post-exilic population of Jerusalem.

Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of 1 Chronicles 8 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs–Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. Benjamin receives unusual attention in Chronicles because it anchors both the memory of Saul and the post-exilic population of Jerusalem. This chapter emphasizes clan descent and settlement patterns, including residents of key towns, before turning to the royal line that culminates in Saul and his sons. The effect is preparatory: chapter 10 will recount Saul's death, but chapter 8 first ensures that his house is genealogically situated and remembered. The Greek remains dense with transliterated names and short list clauses. Readers should not press every duplication or variation against chapter 9 as though the Chronicler meant to provide a single harmonized list; rather, the repeated Benjamin material underscores the tribe's strategic weight for both royal past and restored community.
