(Rev. 7:5‑8)
 As soon as we approach Israel's history in 1 Chron. 2, gaps appear, for when Chronicles was written the genealogies of many members of this people remained undetermined since they could not be proven. (From Adam to the Twelve Tribes: 1 Chronicles 1 by H.L. Rossier)
 At the beginning of this chapter, the names of the sons of Jacob, called Israel, are mentioned — not in order — with the aim, I think, of presenting them to us as being all, without distinction, objects of God's purposes in grace. Thus we find first of all Leah's children, then Rachel's children mentioned between Dan and Naphtali, the sons of Bilhah, and lastly Gad and Asher, the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid. (From Adam to the Twelve Tribes: 1 Chronicles 1 by H.L. Rossier)
