SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:5
Los hijos de Jafet: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javán, Tubal, Mesec, y Tiras.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 1:5
Verse 5. After Tiras, the Targum adds, "And the names of their countries were Africa, and Germany, and Media, and Macedonia, Bithynia, and Maesia, and Thrace." And in another copy, "Germany, Getia, and Media, and Ephesus, Bithynia, and Maesia, and Thrace."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5-27 . The sons of Japheth, Gomer , etc.] Here begins the genealogy of the sons of Noah after the flood; of the sons of Japheth the elder, in this and the two following verses; next of the sons of Ham, the younger brother, (1 Chronicles 8-16), then of Shem, whose posterity are mentioned last, because from him, in the line of Heber, sprang Abraham, the ancestor of the Jewish nation, of whom the Messiah was to come, for whose sake this genealogy is given, ( 1 Chronicles 1:17-27). The whole is the same with the account in ( Genesis 10:1-11:29) Ver. 28-34 . The sons of Abraham , etc.] The famous and well known ancestor of the Jews; of Ishmael his firstborn, and his posterity; of his sons by Keturah; and of Isaac and his sons, an account is given from hence to the end of ( 1 Chronicles 1:34) entirely agreeing with that in ( Genesis 25:1-34).

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-27 - This chapter, and many that follow, repeat the genealogies, or lists of fathers and children in the Bible history, and put them together, with many added. When compared with other places, there are some difference found; yet we must not therefore stumble at the word, but bless God that the things necessary to salvation are plain enough. The origina of the Jewish nation is here traced from the first man that God created, and is thereby distinguished from the obscure, fabulous, an absurd origins assigned to other nations. But the nations now are all so mingled with one another, that no one nation, nor the greatest par of any, is descended entirely from any of one nation, nor the greates part of any, is descended entirely from any of these fountains. Onl this we are sure of, that God has created of one blood all nations of men; they are all descended from one Adam, one Noah. Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Mal 2:10.
