Verse 14

Of Gad; Eliasaph the son of Deuel.

Eliasaph
7:42; 10:20
Son of Reuel
2:14
Deuel
As the [d] daleth is very like the [r] resh, they might be easily mistaken for each other; and hence this person being called both Dëuel and Rëuel, may be easily accounted for. The Septuagint and Syriac have Reuel, in this chapter; and in ch. 2:14, the Samaritan, Vulgate, and Arabic have Deuel, instead of Reuel, with which reading a vast number of MSS. concur, and which is also supported by ch. 7:42, 10:20. We may therefore safely conclude, the Dëuel, and not Rëuel, was the original reading.
