SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:40
Y fueron los hijos de Ulam hombres valientes de gran valor, flecheros diestros, los cuales tuvieron muchos hijos y nietos, ciento cincuenta. Todos estos fueron de los hijos de Benjamín.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 8:40
Verse 40. The sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor] The Targum speaks honourably of them: "The sons of Ulam were mighty and strong men, subduing by wisdom their evil concupiscence, as men bend a bow; therefore they had many sons and grandsons." Of the six sons of Azel, mentioned 1 Chronicles viii. 38, R. S. Jarchi says that their allegorical expositions were sufficient to load thirteen thousand camels! No doubt these were reputed to be deeply learned men. There was a time when the allegorizers and metaphor-men ranked very high among theologians, even in our own enlightened and critical country. At present they are almost totally out of fashion. May they never recover their footing! But what a shameful hyperbole is that of Jarchi! The writings of six men a load for thirteen thousand camels!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour , etc.] Men of great fortitude and courage, though their names are not expressed: archers ; skilful in the use of the bow and arrows, as the Benjaminites formerly were famous for slinging stones: and had many sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty ; so that the posterity of Jonathan, whose genealogy is drawn down from ( Chronicles 8:34) hither, were very great; and greater still, according to the Vulgate Latin version, in which the number is 150,000 in the edition of Sixtus the fifth, and so in most MSS of that version f67 all these are of the sons of Benjamin ; his posterity, whose names are given in this chapter.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --Here is a larger list of Benjamin's tribe. We may suppose that man things in these genealogies, which to us seem difficult, abrupt, an perplexed, were plain and easy at that time, and fully answered the intention for which they were published. Many great and mighty nation then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose name are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israe of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the jus is blessed __________________________________________________________________
