Matthew Henry on Genesis 30:6
She calls the first son of her handmaid Dan (judgement), saying, "God hath judged me" (v. 6), that is, "given sentence in my favour." (2.) In battle. She calls the next Naphtali (wrestlings), saying, I have wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed (v. 8); as if all Jacob's sons must be born men of contention. See what roots of bitterness envy and strife are, and what mischief they make among relations.
