The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain The sons of Naphtali. In an order quite different…
The sons of Naphtali. In an order quite different from the otherwise parallel passages (Gen_46:24; Num_26:48-50) the tribe of Naphtali is taken. Naphtali was the second son of Rachel"s handmaid Bilhah, and in order of birth the fifth sen of Jacob, and was of course more closely allied to Dan, Ephraim, and Benjamin. The family was distinguished for its spirit throughout its history. At the Sinai census it numbered fifty-three thousand four hundred fighting men; (Num_1:42, Num_1:43) but at the close of the wanderings through the wilderness its numbers had become only forty-five thousand four hundred. Its territory in the north, largely mountainous, bounded by Asher, Zebulun, and Manasseh, was some of the finest, and covered the district afterwards called Galilee, "the cradle of the Christian faith, the native place of most of the apostles, and the home of our Lord" (Grove). The slight difference in the spelling of Jahziel in Genesis, and of Shallum in Numbers, may be noticed. The following are interesting references to Naphtali in one or another portion of its history: Deu_33:23; Jos_20:7; Jud 1:33 5:18; 1Ch_27:19; Eze_48:3, Eze_48:4, Mat_4:15; Rev_7:6. It played a considerable and prominent part also in the conflicts with Titus and Vespasian, when the days of Jerusalem were numbered.

7:13 In contrast with other genealogies, this abrupt listing of the sons of Naphtali includes only the first generation (cp. Gen 46:24; Num 26:48-50). The manuscript of Chronicles might have suffered damage at an early stage of scribal copying, which could also account for the omission of Dan and Zebulun. It is also possible that the records for Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali were lost when Tiglath-pileser attacked and exiled these tribes during Pekah’s reign (2 Kgs 15:29); in that case, the Chronicler had no records available to include.
