1 Chronicles 8:3-5 -

Nine sons are here assigned to Bela . Genesis (44:41) only finds us clearly three of them, and these in very different order, viz. Gera, Naaman , and Arel; and Numbers ( Numbers 26:39 , Numbers 26:40 ) finds us only three, viz. Ard, Naaman, and Shupham. Yet our Huram may correspond with Hupham, and then the four pairs of names—Shephuphan and Huram, Shupham and Hupham, Shuppim and Huppim, and Muppim and Huppim—may be interpreted as designating one and the same couple of persons. The recurrence of the name Gera in verse 5, so close upon the same name in verse 3, would of course be more remarkable, and point inevitably to the disordered state of the text, if it were necessary to suppose that these nine persons were really brothers, as well as called sons of Bela .
