John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 7. And the sons of Bela; Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth, and Iri, five , etc.] These are thought by some to be the grandsons of Bela, because of the different names in ( 1 Chronicles 8:3-5), heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour ; principal men in their tribe and families, and of great courage: and were reckoned by their genealogies twenty and two thousand and thirty and four ; who sprung from these men.

Dan is omitted, Re 7. Men become abominable when they forsak the worship of the true God, for any creature object _________________________________________________
