The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. The sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.
Commentary on Genesis 46:172 voices
And the sons of Asher,.... Another son of Jacob by Leah's maid Zilpah, whose sons were: Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister; who is called Sarah, Num 26:46, and by the Septuagint here.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
In the speech of Stephen (Ac 7:14) the number is stated to be seventy-five; but as that estimate includes five sons of Ephraim and Manasseh (1Ch 7:14-20), born in Egypt, the two accounts coincide.

- 1 Chronicles 7:20–23
The descendants of Ephraim:
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 7:20–232 voices
And the sons of Ephraim,.... A son of Joseph, and father of a tribe of this name, whose genealogy through five generations follows: Shuthelah, Bered, Tahath, Eladah, Tahath; the second.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The sons of Ephraim - The genealogy is difficult. It is perhaps best to consider Ezer and Elead 1Ch 7:21 as not sons of Zabad and brothers of the second Shuthelah, but natural sons of Ephraim. The passage would then run thusly: And the sons of Ephraim, Shuthelah (and Bered was his son, and Tahath his son and Eladah his son, and Tahath his son, and Zabad his son, and Shuthelah his son) and Ezer and Elead, whom the men of Gath slew (i. e. the settled inhabitants, as contrasted with the nomadic Hebrews, Amalekites, etc.).

- 1 Chronicles 7:30
The children of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah.

The son of Asher,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam.

- 1 Chronicles 8:13
Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built Ono and Lod with its villages), and Beriah and Shema (who were the heads of families of the inhabitants of Aijalon and who drove out the inhabitants of Gath).
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:131 voice
Beriah also, and Shema,.... These were sons of Elpaal: who were heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Aijalon; which, though in the tribe of Dan, Jos 19:42 might afterwards come into the possession of Benjamin; or this may be another place of the same name in Benjamin; or, however, might be inhabited by Benjaminites, upon the return from captivity, who descended from those men: who drove away the inhabitants of Gath; dispossessed them of their city, in revenge for what they had done to the Ephraimites, 1Ch 7:21.

- 1 Chronicles 23:10
And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, Jeush, and Beriah. These were the sons of Shimei—four in all.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 23:101 voice
And the sons of Shimei,.... The son of Gershon, and brother of Laadan, according to Kimchi, which seems right: were Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei; descendants of his in the times of David.

- 1 Chronicles 23:11
Jahath was the first and Zizah was the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as one family and received a single assignment.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 23:112 voices
And Jahath was the chief,.... The prince and head of a family: and Ziza the second; the same with Zina in 1Ch 23:10, and is there read Ziza in the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; so as to constitute distinct families: therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house; made one family with their brethren.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Therefore they were in one reckoning - The family of Shimei, being small, was united with that of Laadan, that the two families might do that work which otherwise belonged to one, but which would have been too much for either of these separately.
