| mighty men of valour, archers--(see on Jdg 20:16). Great strength as well as skill was requisite in ancient archery, as the bow, which was of steel, was bent by treading with the feet, and pulling the string with both hands. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Sons, and sons' sons - This genealogy of the house of Saul appears by the number of the generations to belong probably to the time of Hezekiah (compare Ch1 4:41). Ulam's "sons' sons" are in the 13th generation from Jonathan, as Hezekiah is in the 13th generation from David. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Archers - Heb. that tread the bow; for the bows of steel, which these used, required great strength to bend them; which therefore they did by treading the bow with their feet, and pulling the string with both their hands. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The sons of Ulam were mighty men of valor - The Targum speaks honourably of them: "The sons of Ulam were mighty and strong men, subduing by wisdom their evil concupiscence, as men bend a bow; therefore they had many sons and grandsons." Of the six sons of Azel, mentioned Ch1 8:38, R. S. Jarchi says that their allegorical expositions were sufficient to load thirteen thousand camels! No doubt these were reputed to be deeply learned men. There was a time when the allegorizers and metaphor-men ranked very high among theologians, even in our own enlightened and critical country. At present they are almost totally out of fashion. May they never recover their footing! But what a shameful hyperbole is that of Jarchi! The writings of six men a load for thirteen thousand camels! |
16 Among all this people [05971] there were seven [07651] hundred [03967] chosen [0977] men [0376] lefthanded [0334] [03027] [03225]; every one could sling [07049] stones [068] at an hair [08185] breadth, and not miss [02398].
41 And these written [03789] by name [08034] came [0935] in the days [03117] of Hezekiah [03169] king [04428] of Judah [03063], and smote [05221] their tents [0168], and the habitations [04583] that were found [04672] there, and destroyed [02763] them utterly unto this day [03117], and dwelt [03427] in their rooms: because there was pasture [04829] there for their flocks [06629].
38 And Azel [0682] had six [08337] sons [01121], whose names [08034] are these, Azrikam [05840], Bocheru [01074], and Ishmael [03458], and Sheariah [08187], and Obadiah [05662], and Hanan [02605]. All these were the sons [01121] of Azel [0682].
