Genealogies. . 1 Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four. 2 And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father's house, to wit, of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred. 3 And the sons of Uzzi; Izrahiah: and the sons of Izrahiah; Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, five: all of them chief men. 4 And with them, by their generations, after the house of their fathers, were bands of soldiers for war, six and thirty thousand men: for they had many wives and sons. 5 And their brethren among all the families of Issachar were valiant men of might, reckoned in all by their genealogies fourscore and seven thousand. 6 The sons of Benjamin; Bela, and Becher, and Jediael, three. 7 And the sons of Bela; Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth, and Iri, five; heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour; and were reckoned by their genealogies twenty and two thousand and thirty and four. 8 And the sons of Becher; Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth, and Abiah, and Anathoth, and Alameth. All these are the sons of Becher. 9 And the number of them, after their genealogy by their generations, heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour, was twenty thousand and two hundred. 10 The sons also of Jediael; Bilhan: and the sons of Bilhan; Jeush, and Benjamin, and Ehud, and Chenaanah, and Zethan, and Tharshish, and Ahishahar. 11 All these the sons of Jediael, by the heads of their fathers, mighty men of valour, were seventeen thousand and two hundred soldiers, fit to go out for war and battle. 12 Shuppim also, and Huppim, the children of Ir, and Hushim, the sons of Aher. 13 The sons of Naphtali; Jahziel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shallum, the sons of Bilhah. 14 The sons of Manasseh; Ashriel, whom she bare: ( but his concubine the Aramitess bare Machir the father of Gilead: 15 And Machir took to wife the sister of Huppim and Shuppim, whose sister's name was Maachah;) and the name of the second was Zelophehad: and Zelophehad had daughters. 16 And Maachah the wife of Machir bare a son, and she called his name Peresh; and the name of his brother was Sheresh; and his sons were Ulam and Rakem. 17 And the sons of Ulam; Bedan. These were the sons of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh. 18 And his sister Hammoleketh bare Ishod, and Abiezer, and Mahalah. 19 And the sons of Shemida were, Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam. We have here a short view given us, I. Of the tribe of Issachar, whom Jacob had compared to a strong ass, couching between two burdens ( Genesis 49:14 ), an industrious tribe, that minded their country business very closely and rejoiced in their tents, Deuteronomy 33:18 . And here it appears, 1. That they were a numerous tribe; for they had many wives. So fruitful their country was that they saw no danger of over-stocking the pasture, and so ingenious the people were that they could find work for all hands. Let no people complain of their numbers, provided they suffer none to be idle. 2. That they were a valiant tribe, men of might ( 1 Chronicles 7:2 ; 1 Chronicles 7:5 ), chief men, 1 Chronicles 7:3 ; 1 Chronicles 7:3 . Those that were inured to labour and business were of all men the fittest to serve their country when there was occasion, The number of the respective families, as taken in the days of David, is here set down, amounting in the whole to above 145,000 men fit for war. The account, some think, was taken when Joab numbered the people, 2 Samuel 24:1-25 But I rather think it refers to some other computation that was made, perhaps among themselves, because it is said ( 1 Chronicles 27:24 ) that that account was not inserted in the chronicles of king David, it having offended God. II. Of the tribe of Benjamin. Some account is here given of this tribe, but much larger in the next chapter. The militia of this tribe scarcely reached to 60,000; but they are said to be mighty men of valour, 1 Chronicles 7:7 ; 1 Chronicles 7:9 ; 1 Chronicles 7:11 . Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf, Genesis 49:27 . It was the honour of this tribe that it produced Saul the first king, and more its honour that it adhered to the rightful kings of the house of David when the other tribes revolted. Here is mention ( 1 Chronicles 7:12 ; 1 Chronicles 7:12 ) of Hushim the sons of Aher. The sons of Dan are said to be Hushim ( Genesis 46:23 ), and therefore some read Aher appellatively, Hushim --the sons of another (that is, another of Jacob's sons) or the sons of a stranger, which Israelites should not be, but such the Danites were when they set up Micah's graven and molten image among them. III. Of the tribe of Naphtali, 1 Chronicles 7:13 ; 1 Chronicles 7:13 . The first fathers only of that tribe are named, the very same that we shall find, Genesis 46:24 , only that Shillem there is Shallum here. None of their descendents are named, perhaps because their genealogies were lost. IV. Of the tribe of Manasseh, that part of it which was seated within Jordan; for of the other part we had some account before, 1 Chronicles 5:23-26 ; 1 Chronicles 5:23-26 , c. Of this tribe observe, 1. That one of them married an Aramitess, that is, a Syrian, 1 Chronicles 7:14 ; 1 Chronicles 7:14 . This was during their bondage in Egypt, so early did they begin to mingle with the nations. 2. That, though the father married a Syrian, Machir, the son of that marriage, perhaps seeing the inconvenience of it in his father's house, took to wife a daughter of Benjamin, 1 Chronicles 7:15 ; 1 Chronicles 7:15 . It is good for the children to take warning by their father's mistakes and not stumble at the same stone. 3. Here is mention of Bedan ( 1 Chronicles 7:17 ; 1 Chronicles 7:17 ), who perhaps is the same with that Bedan who is mentioned as one of Israel's deliverers, 1 Samuel 12:11 . Jair perhaps, who was of Manasseh ( Judges 10:3 ), was the man. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-20-40" class="com-number"

이 단락에서는 여러 지파에 대한 간략한 개요를 살펴본다.

**I. 잇사갈 지파.** 야곱은 잇사갈을 "두 짐 사이에 꿇어앉은 건장한 나귀"에 비유하였다(창세기 49:14). 이 지파는 자기 땅의 일에 매우 부지런했고 자기 장막 안에서 기뻐하는 근면한 지파였다(신명기 33:18). 이 본문을 통해 다음 두 가지가 드러난다.

1. 잇사갈 지파는 수가 많은 지파였다. 그들에게는 아내와 자녀가 많았기 때문이다. 그들의 땅이 얼마나 기름졌는지, 가축을 너무 많이 기른다는 걱정이 없었고, 그 백성이 얼마나 재주 있었는지 모든 손이 일할 수 있었다. 어느 민족도 자기 수가 많다고 불평할 것이 아니다. 아무도 게으르지 않게 하면 된다.

2. 잇사갈 지파는 용감한 지파였다. 역대상 7장 2·5절에는 "용사"라고, 7장 3절에는 "족장"이라고 기록되어 있다. 노동과 일에 단련된 자들이야말로 필요할 때 나라를 섬기기에 가장 적합한 사람들이다. 다윗 시대에 측량된 각 가문의 수는 합산하면 14만 5천 명이 넘어 전쟁에 나갈 만한 남자들로 이루어졌다. 일부 학자들은 이 기록이 요압이 인구를 조사하던 때(사무엘하 24장)에 작성된 것이라고 생각한다. 그러나 나는 백성들 사이에서 자체적으로 이루어진 다른 조사를 가리키는 것이라고 생각하는데, 그 이유는 역대상 27장 24절에서 다윗 왕의 요압 인구조사 기록은 연대기에 삽입되지 않았다고 하기 때문이다. 하나님께서 그것에 진노하셨으므로 기록으로 남기지 않은 것이다.

**II. 베냐민 지파.** 이 지파에 대한 약간의 기록이 있으나, 다음 장에서 훨씬 상세히 다루어진다. 이 지파의 군사 수는 6만 명에도 미치지 못하지만, 역대상 7장 7·9·11절에 "용감한 용사들"이라고 기록되어 있다. "베냐민은 물어뜯는 이리"(창세기 49:27)라 했다. 이 지파의 영예는 초대 왕 사울을 배출했다는 것이고, 더 큰 영예는 다른 지파들이 반역했을 때도 다윗 왕가의 정당한 왕들에게 끝까지 붙어 있었다는 것이다.

역대상 7장 12절에는 아헬의 아들 후심이 언급된다. 창세기 46장 23절에서 단의 아들들은 후심이라고 하였으므로, 어떤 이들은 "아헬"을 보통명사로 읽어 후심을 "다른 이의 아들들"(즉, 야곱의 또 다른 아들의 아들들)이나 "이방인의 아들들"로 해석하기도 한다. 이스라엘 사람들은 이방인처럼 살아서는 안 되었으나, 단 사람들은 미가의 새긴 우상과 부어 만든 우상을 그들 가운데 세웠을 때 그런 자들이 되었다.

**III. 납달리 지파.** 역대상 7장 13절에 그 지파의 첫 선조들만 기록되었는데, 창세기 46장 24절에서도 동일하다. 다만 창세기의 '실렘'이 여기서는 '살룸'으로 나온다. 후손들이 전혀 언급되지 않은 것은 아마도 그들의 족보가 소실되었기 때문일 것이다.

**IV. 므낫세 지파.** 여기서는 요단 강 안쪽에 자리 잡은 므낫세 지파를 다룬다. 요단 강 바깥쪽의 므낫세 지파에 대해서는 역대상 5장 23-26절에서 이미 다루었다. 이 지파에서 주목할 점은 다음과 같다.

1. 그들 중 한 사람이 아람 여인, 곧 시리아 여인을 아내로 맞이하였다(역대상 7:14). 이것은 이집트에서 종살이하던 중에 일어난 일로, 이스라엘이 열방과 섞이기 시작한 것이 얼마나 이른 때부터였는지 보여 준다.

2. 비록 아버지가 시리아 여인과 결혼하였지만, 그 결혼의 아들 마길은 아버지의 가정에서 그 불편함을 직접 목격하고서 베냐민 지파의 딸을 아내로 맞이하였다(역대상 7:15). 자녀들이 아버지의 실수를 보고 같은 돌에 걸려 넘어지지 않는 것이 지혜로운 일이다.

3. 역대상 7장 17절에 브단이 언급되는데, 이 사람은 이스라엘의 구원자들 중 하나로 거명된 브단(사무엘상 12:11)과 동일한 인물일 수 있다. 므낫세 지파 출신인 야일(사사기 10:3)이 바로 그 사람일 가능성이 있다.

F I R S T C H R O N I C L E S CHAP. VII. In this chapter we have some account of the genealogies, I. Of Issachar, 1 Chronicles 7:1-5 . II. Of Benjamin, 1 Chronicles 7:6-12 . III.

Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam.

역대상 7장에는 여러 지파의 족보가 기록되어 있다. I. 잇사갈 지파 (1-5절). II. 베냐민 지파 (6-12절). III. 납달리 지파 (13절). IV. 므낫세 지파 (14-19절). V. 에브라임 지파 (20-29절). VI. 아셀 지파 (30-40절). 스불론과 단 지파에 대한 기록은 없다. 이 두 지파만 빠진 이유를 우리는 설명하기 어렵다. 다만 단 지파의 불명예로는, 단 사람들의 한 무리가 라이스에 정착하여 그 이름을 단이라 불렀고, 그곳에서 여로보암이 금송아지 중 하나를 세웠다는 사실이 있다. 또한 단은 요한계시록 7장 4-8절의 명단에서도 빠져 있다.

Genealogies. . 20 And the sons of Ephraim; Shuthelah, and Bered his son, and Tahath his son, and Eladah his son, and Tahath his son, 21 And Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son, and Ezer, and Elead, whom the men of Gath that were born in that land slew, because they came down to take away their cattle. 22 And Ephraim their father mourned many days, and his brethren came to comfort him. 23 And when he went in to his wife, she conceived, and bare a son, and he called his name Beriah, because it went evil with his house. 24 (And his daughter was Sherah, who built Beth-horon the nether, and the upper, and Uzzen-sherah.) 25 And Rephah was his son, also Resheph, and Telah his son, and Tahan his son, 26 Laadan his son, Ammihud his son, Elishama his son, 27 Non his son, Jehoshua his son. 28 And their possessions and habitations were, Bethel and the towns thereof, and eastward Naaran, and westward Gezer, with the towns thereof; Shechem also and the towns thereof, unto Gaza and the towns thereof: 29 And by the borders of the children of Manasseh, Beth-shean and her towns, Taanach and her towns, Megiddo and her towns, Dor and her towns. In these dwelt the children of Joseph the son of Israel. 30 The sons of Asher; Imnah, and Isuah, and Ishuai, and Beriah, and Serah their sister. 31 And the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel, who is the father of Birzavith. 32 And Heber begat Japhlet, and Shomer, and Hotham, and Shua their sister. 33 And the sons of Japhlet; Pasach, and Bimhal, and Ashvath. These are the children of Japhlet. 34 And the sons of Shamer; Ahi, and Rohgah, Jehubbah, and Aram. 35 And the sons of his brother Helem; Zophah, and Imna, and Shelesh, and Amal. 36 The sons of Zophah; Suah, and Harnepher, and Shual, and Beri, and Imrah, 37 Bezer, and Hod, and Shamma, and Shilshah, and Ithran, and Beera. 38 And the sons of Jether; Jephunneh, and Pispah, and Ara. 39 And the sons of Ulla; Arah, and Haniel, and Rezia. 40 All these were the children of Asher, heads of their father's house, choice and mighty men of valour, chief of the princes. And the number throughout the genealogy of them that were apt to the war and to battle was twenty and six thousand men. We have here an account, I. Of the tribe of Ephraim. Great things we read of that tribe when it came to maturity. Here we have an account of the disasters of its infancy, while it was in Egypt as it should seem; for Ephraim himself was alive when those things were done, which yet is hard to imagine if it were, as is here computed, seven generations off. Therefore I am apt to think that either it was another Ephraim or that those who were slain were the immediate sons of that Ephraim that was the son of Joseph. In this passage, which is related here only, we have, 1. The great breach that was made upon the family of Ephraim. The men of Gath, Philistines, giants, slew many of the sons of that family, because they came down to take away their cattle, 1 Chronicles 7:21 ; 1 Chronicles 7:21 . It is uncertain who were the aggressors here. Some make the men of Gath the aggressors, men born in the land of Egypt, but now resident in Gath, supposing that they came down into the land of Goshen, to drive away the Ephraimites' cattle, and slew the owners, because they stood up in the defence of them. Many a man's life has been exposed and betrayed by his wealth; so far is it from being a strong city. Others think that the Ephraimites made a descent upon the men of Gath to plunder them, presuming that the time had come when they should be put in possession of Canaan; but they paid dearly for their rashness and precipitation. Those that will not wait God's time cannot expect God's blessing. I rather think that the men of Gath came down upon the Ephraimites, because the Israelites in Egypt were shepherds, not soldiers, abounded in cattle of their own, and therefore were not likely to venture their lives for their neighbours' cattle: and the words may be read, The men of Gath slew them, for they came down to take away their cattle. Zabad the son of Ephraim, and Shuthelah, and Ezer, and Elead (his grandchildren), were, as Dr. Lightfoot thinks, the men that were slain. Jacob had foretold that the seed of Ephraim should become a multitude of nations ( Genesis 48:19 ), and yet that plant is thus nipped in the bud. God's providences often seem to contradict his promises; but, when they do so, they really magnify the promise, and make the performance of it, notwithstanding, so much more illustrious. The Ephraimites were the posterity of Joseph, and yet his power could not protect them, though some think he was yet living. The sword devours one as well as another. 2. The great grief which oppressed the father of the family hereupon: Ephraim mourned many days. Nothing brings the aged to the grave with more sorrow than their following the young that descend from them to the grave first, especially if in blood. It is often the burden of those that live to be old that they see those go before them of whom they said, These same shall comfort us. It was a brotherly friendly office which his brethren did, when they came to comfort him under this great affliction, to express their sympathy with him and concern for him, and to suggest that to him which would support and quiet him under this sad providence. Probably they reminded him of the promise of increase which Jacob had blessed him when he laid his right hand upon his head. Although his house was not so with God as he hoped, but a house of mourning, a shattered family, yet that promise was sure, 2 Samuel 23:5 . 3. The repair of this breach, in some measure, by addition of another son to his family in his old age ( 1 Chronicles 7:23 ; 1 Chronicles 7:23 ), like Seth, another seed instead of that of Abel whom Cain slew, Genesis 4:25 . When God thus restores comfort to his mourners, makes glad according to the days wherein he afflicted, setting the mercies over against the crosses, we ought therein to take notice of the kindness and tenderness of divine Providence; it is as if it repented God concerning his servants, Psalms 90:13 ; Psalms 90:15 . Yet joy that a man was born into his family could not make him forget his grief; for he gives a melancholy name to his son, Beriah--in trouble, for he was born when the family was in mourning, when it went evil with his house. It is good to have in remembrance the affliction and the misery, the wormwood and the gall, that our souls may be humbled within us, Lamentations 3:19 ; Lamentations 3:20 . What name more proper for man that is born of a woman than Beriah, because born into a troublesome world? It is added, as a further honour to the house of Ephraim, (1.) That a daughter of that tribe, Sherah by name, at the time of Israel's setting in Canaan, built some cities, either at her own charge or by her own care; one of them bore her name, Uzzen-sherah, 1 Chronicles 7:24 ; 1 Chronicles 7:24 . A virtuous woman may be as great an honour and blessing to a family as a mighty man. (2.) That a son of that tribe was employed in the conquest of Canaan, Joshua the son of Nun, 1 Chronicles 7:27 ; 1 Chronicles 7:27 . In this also the breach made on Ephraim's family was further repaired; and perhaps the resentment of this injury formerly done by the Canaanites to the Ephraimites might make him more vigorous in the war. II. Of the tribe of Asher. Some men of note of that tribe are here named. Their militia was not numerous in comparison with some other tribes, only 26,000 men in all; but their princes were choice and mighty men of valour, chief of the princes ( 1 Chronicles 7:40 ; 1 Chronicles 7:40 ), and perhaps it was their wisdom that they coveted not to make their trained bands numerous, but rather to have a few, and those apt to the war and serviceable men. return to ' Top of Page ' 1 Chronicles 1Ch 6 1 Chronicles 1Ch 1 Chronicles 1Ch 8 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

이 단락에서는 에브라임 지파와 아셀 지파에 대해 살펴본다.

**I. 에브라임 지파.** 이 지파가 성장했을 때의 위대한 일들은 성경에 많이 기록되어 있다. 여기서는 아직 이집트에 있던 어린 시절의 불행한 사건들이 전해진다. 에브라임 자신이 살아 있을 때 일어난 일이라고 기록되어 있으나, 본문에서 계산해 보면 7대 후손 이야기인지라 이를 그대로 받아들이기가 쉽지 않다. 그러므로 나는 다른 에브라임이었거나, 아니면 죽임당한 자들이 요셉의 아들 에브라임의 직계 자손들이었을 것이라고 생각한다.

이 이야기에서, 오직 이 본문에서만 전해지는 내용으로 세 가지를 볼 수 있다.

1. **에브라임 가문에 임한 큰 재앙.** 가드 사람들, 곧 블레셋 족속의 거인들이 에브라임 가문의 자녀들을 많이 죽였는데, 이는 그들이 내려와 가축을 빼앗으려 했기 때문이다(역대상 7:21). 여기서 누가 먼저 공격했는지는 분명하지 않다. 어떤 이들은 가드 사람들이 먼저 공격했다고 보는데, 이집트 땅 출신이지만 지금은 가드에 거주하는 그들이 에브라임 사람들의 가축을 약탈하러 고센 땅으로 내려와 주인들이 방어하자 그들을 죽였다는 것이다. 재물 때문에 생명을 잃는 일은 흔하다. 재물은 결코 견고한 성이 아니다. 다른 이들은 에브라임 사람들이 가나안을 차지할 때가 이미 왔다고 생각하고 가드 사람들을 약탈하러 내려갔다가 큰 대가를 치렀다고 본다. 하나님의 때를 기다리지 않는 자들은 하나님의 복을 기대할 수 없다. 나는 가드 사람들이 먼저 에브라임 사람들을 공격했다고 생각하는데, 이집트에 있던 이스라엘 사람들은 목동이었지 군사가 아니었고 자기 가축이 풍족했으므로 이웃의 가축을 위해 목숨을 걸지는 않았을 것이기 때문이다. 야곱은 에브라임의 씨가 "여러 민족을 이룰 것"이라고 예언하였으나(창세기 48:19), 그 싹은 이렇게 일찍부터 꺾였다. 하나님의 섭리는 종종 그분의 약속과 상충되는 것처럼 보이지만, 실제로는 약속을 높이는 것이며, 그럼에도 불구하고 성취될 때 그 성취를 더욱 빛나게 한다. 에브라임 사람들은 요셉의 후손이었으나, 일부의 생각처럼 요셉이 아직 살아 있었다 해도 그의 권세가 그들을 지키지 못하였다. 칼은 한 사람이나 다른 사람이나 가리지 않고 삼킨다.

2. **가장의 깊은 슬픔.** 에브라임은 여러 날 동안 애통하였다. 자기 뒤를 이을 자녀들이, 특히 혈연으로 이어진 자들이 먼저 무덤으로 들어가는 것을 보는 것만큼 나이 든 자들을 더 큰 슬픔으로 무덤에 이르게 하는 것은 없다. 오래 살아 늙을수록 "이 아이들이 우리를 위로하리라"라고 말하던 바로 그 자녀들이 먼저 세상을 떠나는 것을 보게 되는 일이 잦다. 형제들이 와서 에브라임을 위로해 준 것은 형제다운 우애 있는 행동이었다. 그들의 동정과 관심을 표현하고, 이 슬픈 섭리 아래서 그를 지지하고 안정시킬 수 있는 말을 전한 것이다. 아마도 그들은 야곱이 자기 머리 위에 오른손을 얹고 축복하면서 주신 풍성한 후손에 대한 약속을 상기시켜 주었을 것이다. 비록 그의 집이 그가 바라던 대로 하나님과 함께하지 않고 애통의 집, 산산조각 난 가문이 되었지만, 그 약속은 변함없이 확실하다(사무엘하 23:5).

3. **이 재앙이 어느 정도 회복됨.** 노년에 또 다른 아들이 태어나 가문에 더해졌다(역대상 7:23). 마치 가인이 죽인 아벨 대신에 다른 씨 셋이 주어진 것과 같다(창세기 4:25). 하나님께서 이렇게 애통하는 자들에게 위로를 돌려주시고, 고난받던 날들에 비해 기쁨을 주시며, 은혜를 고난과 맞세우실 때, 우리는 그 안에서 하나님의 섭리가 얼마나 자애롭고 부드러운지를 보아야 한다. 마치 하나님께서 그 종들에 대해 뜻을 바꾸신 것 같으니(시편 90:13, 15), 이에 우리는 감사해야 한다. 그러나 가족 안에 사람이 태어난 기쁨이 슬픔을 지울 수는 없었다. 에브라임은 아들에게 "브리아"라는 이름을 지어 주었는데, 이는 "고통 중에"라는 뜻으로, 가문에 재앙이 있을 때, 집안이 어려울 때 태어났기 때문이다. 고난과 불행을, 쑥과 담즙을 기억하는 것은 좋은 일이다. 그래야 우리 영혼이 낮아지기 때문이다(예레미야애가 3:19-20). 여자에게서 난 사람에게는 "브리아", 곧 고통스러운 세상에 태어난 자라는 이름보다 더 적합한 이름이 어디 있겠는가.

에브라임 가문에 대한 추가적인 영예로 두 가지가 언급된다.

(1) 그 지파의 딸 세라가 이스라엘이 가나안에 정착할 때 몇 개의 성읍을 건설하였는데, 그 중 하나가 그녀의 이름을 따서 "웃센-세라"라고 불렸다(역대상 7:24). 덕스러운 여인은 용사만큼이나 큰 영예와 복이 가문에 될 수 있다.

(2) 그 지파의 아들 하나가 가나안 정복에 쓰임을 받았는데, 바로 눈의 아들 여호수아이다(역대상 7:27). 이 일로 에브라임 가문에 난 상처가 더욱 회복되었으며, 이전에 가나안 사람들에게 입은 상처에 대한 기억이 오히려 전쟁에서 그를 더욱 분발하게 했을 것이다.

**II. 아셀 지파.** 이 지파의 주목할 만한 인물 몇 명이 여기 기록되어 있다. 다른 지파들에 비해 군사의 수는 많지 않아 전체 2만 6천 명에 불과하다. 그러나 그들의 족장들은 "엄선된 용맹한 용사들, 족장들의 우두머리"였다(역대상 7:40). 그들이 군사 수를 늘리려 하지 않고 소수이되 전쟁에 적합하고 유능한 자들을 갖추는 것이 지혜로운 방책임을 알았기 때문일 것이다.
