Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

8:1-40 Genealogies. - Here is a larger list of Benjamin's tribe. We may suppose that many things in these genealogies, which to us seem difficult, abrupt, and perplexed, were plain and easy at that time, and fully answered the intention for which they were published. Many great and mighty nations then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose names are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israel of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the just is blessed.


Acts 9:32 As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
Acts 9:35 All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
1 Chronicles 8:11 By Hushim he had Abitub and Elpaal.
1 Chronicles 8:13 and Beriah and Shema, who were heads of families of those living in Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath.

Ono Ono is stated by Reland to have been three miles from Lydda Ezr 2:33 Ne 6:2 7:37 11:35

Lod Lod, or Lydda, was situated about four leagues from Joppa, and a day's journey, or about thirty-two miles N.W. from Jerusalem; and according to the Antonine Itinerary, twelve miles from Jamnia, eighteen from Eleutheropolis, and twenty two from Bethar. Josephus says it was a village, not yielding to a city in greatness; and that it was one three toparchies dismembered from Samaria, and given to the Jews. It was destroyed by Cesitus in the Jewish war, and, when rebuilt, was called Diospolis. It is now called Loudd, and is a poor village, situated in a fine plain about a league to the E.N.E. of Ramia.
