1 Chronicles 8:4 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 4,5. And Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, and Gera, and
Shephuphan, and Huram.
] These were all the sons of Bela; one of the name of Naaman is reckoned among the sons of Benjamin, ( Genesis 46:21 ) and from this grandson the family of the Naamanites are named, ( Numbers 26:40 ) , and Ahoah is by some thought to be the same with Ehi, mentioned in ( Genesis 46:21 ) as one of Benjamin's sons. Some take the three last to be the sons of Ehud, spoken of in the next verse; but Shephuphan and Huram seem to be the same with Shupham and Hupham, ( Numbers 26:39 ) .
