Poole on 1 Chronicles 1:8-16: The Sons of Ham


Verse 8:[1] (Gen. 10:6, etc.) The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.


Verse 9:[2] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.


Verse 10:[3] And Cush (Gen. 10:8, 13, etc.) begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth.


[He began to be mighty on the earth] Previously all were living with equal right, subordinate to the rule of no one (Mariana). He began to rule in the land in which he was living, that is, to exercise tyranny. Concerning this see Genesis 10:8 (Vatablus).


Verse 11:[4] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim…


Verse 12:[5] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and (Deut. 2:23) Caphthorim.


[And Casluhim: of whom went forth the Philistines [thus all interpreters], יָצְאוּ] They originated: as if the Philistines were a colony of them, and had willingly migrated from them (Vatablus).


Of whom came the Philistines; of which see the notes on Genesis 10:14.


Verse 13:[6] And (Gen. 10:15, etc.) Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth…


Verse 14:[7] The Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite…


[And the Jebusite[8]] Understand the people, which the ה hajedia, or demonstrative, in הַיְבוּסִי, the Jebusite, which is not set before proper names. It is, therefore, the appellative name of a people, as the following names are also the proper names of people groups, unto verse 17 (Vatablus).


The Jebusite; the people so called. So the names which follow until verse 17, are not the names of particular persons, but of people or nations. And all these descended from Canaan, though some of them were afterwards extinct or confounded with others of their brethren by cohabitation or mutual marriages, whereby they lost their names; which is the reason why they are no more mentioned, at least under these names.


Verse 15:[9] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite…


Verse 16:[10] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite.

Dr. Dilday's Sermon: "The Hittites"

https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=1211221521493446


The Hittites, and the Anakim in their midst, were giants, of such power and ferocity that the Israelites spies feared to face them in battle.


The enemies that currently face God's people are certainly no less powerful, fierce, and cunning. Will we be of those that advance against them in faith? or fall back in fear? May God be our help.

Dr. Dilday's Sermon: "Messenger of the Gods"

https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=1120221549262906


Where did the ancient myths come from? Euhemerus answered, that the myths were grounded in real history. Christian Euhemerists, from the first spread of Christianity into the world, asserted that the Bible provided the root history, but that the history was perverted by idolatry and linguistically at Babel. Can this idea be sustained? What are its implications?
