Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 27:30

"and over the camels was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite: and over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagrite." — 1 Chronicles 27:30 (ASV)

Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite. —Obil’s name means either “owner of camels” or “a good manager of camels,” answering exactly to the Arabic ‘âbil. (Judges 7:12.) An “Ishmaelite,” i.e., an Arab, would be the fittest person for looking after camels.

The asses. —The she-asses. (Judges 5:10; Zechariah 9:9.)

Jehdeiah the Meronothite. —From Merônôth, a town perhaps near Mizpah (Nehemiah 3:7). The Septuagint has Merathon, or Marathon.
