{1 Chronicles 7:21} And Zabad 2066 his son, 1121 and Shuthelah 7803 his son, 1121 and Ezer, 5827 and Elead, 496 whom the men y582 x376 of Gath 1661 [that were] born 3205 z8737 in [that] land 776 slew, 2026 z8804 because x3588 they came down 3381 z8804 to take away 3947 z8800 x853 their cattle. 4735

because they came:
Or rather, "when כי [Strong's H3588], (kee) they came down to take away their cattle;" for it does not appear that the sons of Ephraim were the aggressors, but the men of Gath, who appear to have been born in Egypt. This is the only place in the Sacred Writings where this piece of history is mentioned, and the transaction seems to have happened before the Israelites came out of Egypt; for it appears from the following verse, that Ephraim was alive when these children of his were slain.
