1 Chronicles 5:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 5:19

And they made war with the Hagarites
Before mentioned, ( 1 Chronicles 5:19 )

with Jetur, and Nephish:
with the posterity of these men, who were sons of Ishmael, ( Genesis 25:15 ) and so was Nodab; perhaps the same with Kedemah, mentioned along with the other two there; so Hillerus ^F26 thinks.

1 Chronicles 5:19 In-Context

17 All these were listed under the names of their families, in the time of Jotham, king of Judah, and in the time of Jeroboam, king of Israel.

18 There were forty-four thousand, seven hundred and sixty of the sons of Reuben and of the Gadites and of the half-tribe of Manasseh, all strong men, expert in the use of the body-cover, the sword, and the bow, and in the art of war, all able to take up arms.

19 And they went to war against the Hagarites, with Jetur and Naphish and Nodab.

20 And they were helped against them, so that the Hagarites, and those with them, were given into their power. For they sent up prayers to God in the fight, and he gave ear to them, because they put their faith in him.

21 And they took away their cattle: fifty thousand camels, two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, and two thousand asses, and a hundred thousand men.
