1 Chronicles 8:39 meaning and explanation

The sons of his brother Eshek:

1 Chronicles 8:39, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

This verse falls within a long genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin, which the Chronicler records after the exile to show how the returning people were rooted in Israel's past. "His brother" refers back to Azel, whose six sons were just listed, so Eshek is Azel's brother and the verse introduces Eshek's own line.
