1 It is an accepted notion of all Jewish and Christian scholars
that the First and Second books of Chronicles were written by
Ezra with the help of the Prophets Haggai and Zechariah, but we
note that the seventh and eighth chapters of this book consist of
descriptions of the descendants of Benjamin which are mutually

had three sons and in chapter 8:1-3 we find that he had five
sons while the Pentateuch claims that he had ten sons [Genesis
46:21].
