Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 1, 2. - These verses give five sons to Benjamin. Of the non-appearance of Becher here (1 Chronicles 7:6) and the appearance of Ashbel in his place, also of the non-appearance here of Jediael (1 Chronicles 7:6) and the appearance of Aharah (i.q. Ahiram, Numbers 26:38) in his place, notice has been taken on 1 Chronicles 7:6-12. Of the two additions to the sons of Benjamin here, viz. Nohah and Rapha, nothing is known elsewhere; yet it may be possible to count five families from Numbers 26:38, 39.

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersTHE SONS OF BENJAMIN AND BELA (1Chronicles 8:1-5).(See Notes on 1Chronicles 7:6-7.)Bela his first-born.--The Hebrew word for "firstborn" in Genesis 46:21 may have been turned into the proper name Becher, by an ancient mistake of the scribes. (See Note on 1Chronicles 7:6.)Ashbel.--Probably the same as Jediael. . . .
