Ministry on This Verse

+
because they came.Or rather, "when [kîy ] {(kee)} they came down to take away their cattle;" for it does not appear that the sons of Ephraim were the aggressors, but the men of Gath, who appear to have been born in Egypt.
This is the only place in the Sacred Writings where this piece of history is mentioned, and the transaction seems to have happened before the Israelites came out of Egypt; for it appears from the following verse, that Ephraim was alive when these children of his were slain.
• At the beginning (we do not know exactly when), they had stolen from the Philistines of Gath, an act which the Lord could in no way approve. Surely, stealing from the Canaanites in order to enrich themselves while leaving them still alive was not the same as destroying them. In 1 Samuel 15 Saul did the very same thing. Here the men of Gath execute that judgment upon Ephraim which the latter had not executed upon them. (“Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Ephraim, Asher. the Daughters of Zelophehad: 1 Chronicles 7” by H.L. Rossier)
• Later, the accursed race of the Philistines of Gath falls beneath the blows of "mighty men of valor" of Benjamin (1 Chron. 8:13). God commits the accomplishing of His plans to those more faithful than Ephraim. (“Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Ephraim, Asher. the Daughters of Zelophehad: 1 Chronicles 7” by H.L. Rossier)
