Wesley: 1Ch 9:35 - Maachah

In this and the following verses, he repeats Saul's genealogy, that he might make way for the following history.

Clarke: 1Ch 9:35 - Whose wife’ s name was Maachah

Whose wife’ s name was Maachah - Here our translators have departed from the original, for the word is אחתו achotho , his Sister; but the Vulgate, Septuagint, Syriac, Arabic, and Chaldee, have Wife; to which may be added 1Ch 8:29, the parallel place. Almost all the early editions, as well as the MS. editions, have the same reading. Of all the Polyglots the Complutensian alone has אשתו ishto , his Wife. His wife is the reading also of Vatablus’ s Polyglot, but in the margin he observes that other copies have his sister. There is most certainly a fault somewhere, for Maachah could not be both the sister and wife of Jehiel. Whether, therefore, 1Ch 8:29 has been altered from this, or this altered from that, who can tell? A single letter makes the whole difference: if the word be written with ח cheth , it is Sister; if with ש shin , it is Wife. The latter is most probably the true reading. It is so in three very ancient MSS. in my own possession.

TSK: 1Ch 9:35 - in Gibeon // the father // whose

am 2804, etc. bc 1200, etc

in Gibeon : 1Ch 8:29-40

the father : 1Ch 2:23, 1Ch 2:24, 1Ch 2:45, 1Ch 2:50-52

whose : Some editions read achatho , ""his sister;""but in the parallel place 1Ch 8:29, it is ishto , ""his wife,""which is also the reading of the LXX, Vulgate, Arabic, and Syriac here, and is undoubtedly the true reading. This repetition of part of Bemjamin’ s genealogy seems to have been intended merely as an introduction to the ensuing history.

Poole: 1Ch 9:35

In this and the following verses to the end of this chapter he repeats what he said before, 1Ch 8:29 , &c., concerning Saul’ s genealogy, that he might make way for the following history; which is a figure called epanalepsis , which is frequent both in sacred and profane writers.

Haydock: 1Ch 9:35 - And in // The father of Gabaon // Wife

And in. These verses are repeated from the last chapter, in order to bring us to the death of Saul, (Menochius) and the reign of David. (Calmet) ---

"Tis difficult to account for the repetition, provided they were repeated originally; but if they have been repeated through the blunder of a transcriber, the existence of the same words" before them may be the reason. (Kennicott) ---

The father of Gabaon. This is the explanation of Abigabaon, chap. viii. 29. (Haydock) ---

Wife. So the former chapter, and all the ancient versions, with some Hebrew manuscripts, read, instead of the printed Hebrew, "sister," (Kennicott) which seems to be corrupted; (Calmet) and the Protestants venture to correct it. (Haydock)

Gill: 1Ch 9:35-44 - And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon // whose wife's name was Maachah

And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon,.... Whose name is here mentioned, which is not in 1Ch 8:29. Jehiel:

whose wife's name was Maachah; as there, but here called his sister, as a wife sometimes is, Gen 20:2. From hence to the end of the chapter is a repetition of the ancestors and posterity of Saul king of Israel; which is made to lead on to and connect the following history of the kings of Judah, begun in this book, and carried on in the next unto the Babylonish captivity, see 1Ch 8:29, and the notes there.
