(35) Tarea.--Ta'rea. Tahrea (1Chronicles 9:41) is a harder pronunciation of the same name. The name Shime'ah, or Shime'am (1Chronicles 8:32) appears to be a similar softening of the name Shime'ah (2Samuel 13:3).

Verse 35. - Tarea; spelt Tahrea in ver. 41 of next chapter. Ahaz, the last of the four names contained in this verse, is supplied in italics, Authorized Version, next chapter, ver. 41.

8:1-40 Genealogies. - Here is a larger list of Benjamin's tribe. We may suppose that many things in these genealogies, which to us seem difficult, abrupt, and perplexed, were plain and easy at that time, and fully answered the intention for which they were published. Many great and mighty nations then were in being upon earth, and many illustrious men, whose names are now wholly forgotten; while the names of multitudes of the Israel of God are here kept in everlasting remembrance. The memory of the just is blessed.And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tarea, and Ahaz. The last but one is called Tahrea, 1 Chronicles 9:41, where Ahaz is left out, though supplied in our version.
