The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and five.
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
We had some account given us of Benjamin in the foregoing chapter; here we have a larger catalogue of the great men of that tribe.
1Ch 8:1-32

1Ch 8:33-40

But of the family of Saul, which was the royal family before the elevation of David, we have here a particular account.
