I Chronicles 8:29

And *at Gabaon dwelt Abigabaon, and the name of his wife was Maacha:

1 Paralipomenon 9:35.

Dwelt. Literally, "they dwelt." But Hebrew and Septuagint, "in Gabaon, dwelt the father of Gaboan," (Haydock) who was called Jehiel, (chap. 9:35.) or Abiel, 1 Kings 9:1. (Calmet) --- The following verses are repeated in the next chapter, (Haydock) and seem to have been originally the same; though now many variations occur, which shew that "every Hebrew letter" has not been preserved. (Kennicott)
