Commentary on 1 Chronicles 7:20

Theological / Devotional

Sons of Ephraim. Verses 20 to 27 give the genealogy of Ephraim. The genealogy is somewhat difficult to follow. According to Num. 26:35, 36, Ephraim had three sons and Shuthelah had a son by the name of Eran. Here a genealogical line is apparently given from Shuthelah through Bered to the eighth generation, at which time, however, Ephraim seems to be still alive (v. 22). Perhaps the sons of Ephraim are Shuthelah, Bered, and Tahath (see Shuthelah, Becher, and Tahan in Num. 26:35), and Shuthelah the son of Zabad (1 Chron. 7:21) is to be regarded as the end of the line of Shuthelah (v. 20).
