How preachers through history handled this text
2 public-domain excerpts on 1 Chronicles 7, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“In this chapter we have some account of the genealogies, I. Of Issachar, ver. 1-5. II. Of Benjamin, ver. 6-12. III. Of Naphtali, ver. 13. IV. Of Manasseh, ver. 14-19. V. Of Ephraim, ver. 20-29. VI. Of Asher, ver. 30-40. Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan.

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible, Vol. 2 (Joshua to Esther), on 1 Chronicles 7:1–40 (Public Domain)
