Verse 13 And their brethren - This verse is wanting both in the Syriac and in the Arabic.

1Ch 5:13

And their brethren. This chapter (see 1Ch 5:7) seems to introduce the use of this word, which must be understood generically. The seven persons are nowhere else mentioned.

1Ch 5:14, 1Ch 5:15

These are the children of Abihail; i.e. the seven "brethren" of the preceding verse. A rapid line of descent, or rather of ascent, consisting of ten generations, from Abihail to Guni, here follows. The division between these verses has unfortunately cut in half one name, i.e. Buzaki. The translators of the Septuagint saw that the two verses composed one line of ascent, but instead of piecing "Aki" to "Buz," translated it as" brother." Though this line takes us some way back, we find nowhere else any clue or identification of any of these ten persons. Of the twenty-one persons in all, therefore, named as belonging to the tribe of Gad, nothing else is known; and we have nothing to guide us to connect them with any one rather than another of the original" sons of Gad" (Gen 46:16; Num 16:15-18).
