Parallels

  • Genesis 46:21 (verbal): Direct parallel genealogy: Genesis lists the sons of Benjamin (Bela, Becher/Bechar, Ashbel, etc.), corresponding closely to the names in 1 Chronicles 8:1.
  • Numbers 26:38-41 (verbal): Census/genealogical list of Benjamin's clans that names Bela and Ashbel among Benjamin's descendants (with minor variant spellings), echoing the same lineage.
  • Genesis 35:18 (thematic): Narrative account of Benjamin's birth (Benoni/Benjamin) — provides the origin context for the tribal ancestor whose sons are enumerated in 1 Chronicles 8:1.
  • 1 Chronicles 9:1 (and following) (structural): Later Chronicler material that reorganizes and repeats Benjaminite genealogical and clan data (families of Benjamin among the exiles/returnees), drawing on the same genealogical tradition represented in 1 Chronicles 8.

  • 1 Chronicles 8:1-4 (structural): Immediate literary context: verse 2 is part of this sequence of Benjamin's descendants and is structurally connected to the surrounding genealogical entries.
  • Genesis 46:21 (thematic): An earlier patriarchal genealogy of Benjamin’s sons; Chronicles reworks and expands the tribe’s genealogical traditions found in Genesis.
  • Numbers 26:38-41 (thematic): Census/genealogical listing of Benjamin’s clans in the wilderness tradition — another primary source for the tribe’s ancestral names that Chronicles reflects and reorganizes.

Parallels

  • Genesis 46:21 (verbal): Genesis' list of Jacob's descendants names Bela and his sons (including Gera and variants of Ard/Addar), providing the prime Old Testament parallel for the same Benjamite family names.
  • Numbers 26:38 (thematic): In the tribal census Numbers lists the sons of Benjamin (including Bela), situating the same clan within Israel's census tradition and genealogical framework.
  • 1 Chronicles 8:1 (structural): Immediately related verse in the same chapter that introduces Bela as Benjamin's firstborn and frames the genealogy of which 8:3 (the sons of Bela) is a part.
  • Matthew 1:13 (allusion): The New Testament name Abiud (Greek form) in Jesus' genealogy likely reflects the Hebrew name Abihud found here — an onomastic echo of the Benjamite name in later tradition.

Alternative generated candidates

  • The sons of Bela were Addar, Gera, and Abihud.

Parallels

  • 1 Chronicles 6:4 (verbal): The name Abishua appears in the priestly genealogy (Phinehas → Abishua), showing the same personal name occurs elsewhere in Chronicles (different individual/context).
  • 2 Kings 5:1 (verbal): The name Naaman occurs here of the Aramean commander healed by Elisha; a verbal/name parallel (same personal name used for a different figure).
  • 1 Chronicles 8:1-40 (structural): Contextual parallel: the surrounding chapter is a continuous Benjamite genealogy; verse 8:4 is part of this larger genealogical sequence that is later echoed in ch. 9.

Parallels

  • 1 Chronicles 9:5-8 (structural): Repeats the Benjaminite genealogy found in 1 Chronicles 8; many of the same personal names (e.g., Gera, Shephuphan, Huram) appear in this parallel list, showing the chronicler's double presentation of the family lines.
  • Genesis 46:21 (verbal): Gera appears among the sons/descendants of Benjamin in Genesis' list of Jacob's family who went to Egypt; the shared name links the Benjamite lineage across the patriarchal and chronicler genealogies.
  • Judges 3:15 (allusion): Mentions Ehud 'son of Gera,' identifying a notable Benjamite descended from the same name Gera found in 1 Chronicles 8:5; this connects the genealogical name to a historical figure in Israelite narrative.
  • 1 Kings 5:6 (verbal): Uses the similar name Hiram/Huram (the Tyrian king/craftsman brought in for Solomon's building projects); while a different individual, the shared personal name Huram/Hiram illustrates the recurrence of this theophoric/name-form across Israelite and neighboring records.

Alternative generated candidates
