SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:35
¶ Y en Gabaón habitaban Jehiel padre de Gabaón, el nombre de cuya mujer era Maaca;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 9:35
Verse 35. Whose wife's name was Maachah] Here our translators have departed from the original, for the word is wtja achotho, his SISTER; but the Vulgate, Septuagint, Syriac, Arabic, and Chaldee, have WIFE; to which may be added 1 Chronicles viii. 29, the parallel place. Almost all the early editions, as well as the MS. editions, have the same reading. Of all the Polyglots the Complutensian alone has wta ishto, his WIFE. His wife is the reading also of Vatablus's Polyglot, but in the margin he observes that other copies have his sister. There is most certainly a fault somewhere, for Maachah could not be both the sister and wife of Jehiel. Whether, therefore, chap. viii. 29 has been altered from this, or this altered from that, who can tell? A single letter makes the whole difference: if the word be written with j cheth, it is SISTER; if with shin, it is WIFE. The latter is most probably the true reading. It is so in three very ancient MSS. in my own possession.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35-44 . And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon , etc.] Whose name is here mentioned, which is not in ( 1 Chronicles 8:29). Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah ; as there, but here called his sister, as a wife sometimes is, ( Genesis 20:2,5 1 Corinthians 9:5). From hence to the end of the chapter is a repetition of the ancestors and posterity of Saul king of Israel; which is made to lead on to and connect the following history of the kings of Judah, begun in this book, and carried on in the next unto the Babylonish captivity, (see 1 Chronicles 8:29-40), and the notes there.

Matthew Henry Commentary
Genealogies. --This chapter expresses that one end of recording all thes genealogies was, to direct the Jews, when they returned out of captivity, with whom to unite, and where to reside. Here is an accoun of the good state into which the affairs of religion were put, on the return from Babylon. Every one knew his charge. Work is likely to be done well when every one knows the duty of his place, and makes business of it. God is the God of order. Thus was the temple a figur of the heavenly one, where they rest not day nor night from praisin God, Re 4:8. Blessed be His name, believers there shall, not in turn but all together, without interruption, praise him night and day: ma the Lord make each of us fit for the inheritance of the saints in light __________________________________________________________________
