SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:2
Porque Judá fue el mayorazgo sobre sus hermanos, y el príncipe de ellos; mas el derecho de primogenitura fue de José).
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 5:2
Verse 2. And of him came the chief ruler] This is, by both the Syriac and Arabic, understood of Christ: "From Judah the King Messiah shall proceed." The Chaldee paraphrases the verse thus: "Seeing Judah prevailed over his brethren, so the kingdom was taken from Reuben and given to Judah; and because he was strong, so was his kingdom. Levi also was godly, and did not transgress in the matter of the golden calf; therefore the high priesthood was taken away from the children of Reuben, and on their account from all the first- born, and given to Aaron and his sons. The custody of the sanctuary belonged to the Levites, but the birthright to Joseph." -T.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. For Judah prevailed above his brethren , etc.] That is, the tribe of Judah prevailed above the rest in number, in valour, and courage, and in dignity; wherefore the genealogy is not reckoned according to birthright, but dignity and dominion; hence this genealogical account began with Judah, [because] of him [came] the chief ruler ; David and the kings of Judah, his successors; and above all, from him the Prince Messiah was to spring, and did, according to ( Genesis 49:10) so both the Syriac and Arabic versions read, “out of Judah should go forth the King Messiah:” but the birthright [was] Joseph’s or “though” it was; yet Judah having the dominion and dignity, that tribe is first genealogized.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --This chapter gives some account of the two tribes and a half seate on the east side of Jordan. They were made captives by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord. Only two things are her recorded concerning these tribes. 1. They all shared in a victory Happy is that people who live in harmony together, who assist eac other against the common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord and calling upon him. 2. They shared in captivity. They would have the best land, not considering that it lay most exposed. The desire of earthly objects draws to a distance from God's ordinances, and prepare men for destruction __________________________________________________________________
