Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Chronicles 8:13

13 Beriah also and Shema, who were heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Ajalon , who drove away the inhabitants of Gath .

A Place formerly belonging to the Tribe of Dan, Ios. 19. 42. but after the Return from Babylon possessed by the Benjamites, because both Dan and the rest of the ten Tribes were yet for the Generality of them in Captivity and but few of them returned.

Either 1. at that time when they made such a Slaughter among Ephraims Children, ch. 7. 21. and were possibly pursuing their Victory, till they were driven back by these Benjamites who came to the [illegible: 1+ letters]uccour of their Brethren. Or, 2, Now when they were returned from the Captivity and found the Men of Gath possessed of Ajalon. Or, 3. at some other time not mentioned in Scripture.
