These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh.These words appear to refer to a series of names which has dropped out of the text, but which may be inferred from Num. 26:30-32 to have included Abiezer (of which Jeezer is a contraction) and Shemidah. (See the genealogy, 1Ch. 7:14, Note.) 1Ch. 7:17 b and 1Ch. 7:18 may thus have read, These were the sons of Gilead, &c. Abiezer . . . Shemidah. (Now his sister Hammoleketh had borne Ish-hd and Abiezer and Mahalah.) And the sons of Shemidah were, &c. (1Ch. 7:19).
Hammolekethor, the queen, as the Vulg. renders it, may be conceived of here as a half-sister and consort of Gilead.
Ishod = Man of majesty.
