1 Chronicles 8:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram.

Shephuphan - Shuppim (1 Chronicles 7:12-15), or Shupham (Numbers 26:39), or Muppim (Genesis 46:21), a peculiarity of form which will be removed by annexing the last Hebrew letter shin (sh) from the fictitious Rosh in that passage to the next word, Muppim, thus making Shemuppim or Shumpim-a near approximation to Shephuphan.

And Huram - called Huppim, 1 Chronicles 7:12, where he is stated to be a son of Ir, or Iri (1 Chronicles 8:7), son of Bela (cf Genesis 46:21), and Huphan, Num. 46:39 [Septuagint, Ouram]. Both Shupham and Hupham were ancestors or heads of principal families of the Benjamite tribe.
