The sons of Bela were Addar, and Gera, and Abihud.] The first of these is thought to be the same with Ard, mentioned among the sons of Benjamin, (<014621>Genesis 46:21) but was one of his grandsons, (see <042640> Numbers 26:40) as Gera also was. 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, (<014621>Genesis 46:21) and from this grandson the family of the Naamanites are named, (<042640>Numbers 26:40), and Ahoah is by some thought to be the same with Ehi, mentioned in (<014621>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, (<042639>Numbers 26:39).
