1 Chronicles 5:24
"And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And these were the heads of the house of their fathers,.... Some of the principal men of this half tribe: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah,

and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel; but of none of these we read elsewhere, excepting Hepher and Azriel, Num 26:31 . mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers; men that obtained a name for their strength, courage, and valour, and military exploits, and were the chiefs of the families in this half tribe, and by whom they were denominated; so from Hepher were the family of the Hepherites, and from Azriel the family of the Azrielites, as in the place before quoted.
