1 Chronicles 8:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 8:12

The sons of Elpaal; Eber, and Misham, and Shamed
Besides those in ( 1 Chronicles 8:14 1 Chronicles 8:17 1 Chronicles 8:18 )

who built Ono, and Lod, with the towns thereof;
not Shamed, but Elpaal his father, so the Targum; and the Talmudists say ^F15, these were walled cities from the days of Joshua the son of Nun, and were destroyed in the days of the concubine in Gibea, and Elpaal came and rebuilt them; they were inhabited by the Benjaminites, upon their return from the Babylonish captivity, ( Nehemiah 11:35 ) they were near to each other; according to a Jewish chronologer ^F16, it was three miles from the one to the other; Lod is the same with Lydda, in ( Acts 9:32 Acts 9:35 Acts 9:38 ) .
