Beerah his son,.... The last of Joel's posterity, who, according to the Targum and other Jewish writers (q) was a prophet, and the father of Hosea, see
Hos 1:1
but neither the name, title, time, nor tribe, agree:
whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive; the same with Tiglathpileser by a transposition of letters,
Kg2 15:29
and is read the same here in the Greek, Syriac, and Arabic versions:
he was prince of the Reubenites; at that time; that is, Beerah was.
(q) Aben Ezra in Hos. i. 1. Pesikta apud Abarbinel. in ib.
