1 Chronicles 7:12
"Shuppim also, and Huppim, the children of Ir, and Hushim, the sons of Aher."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Shuppim also, and Huppim, the children of Ir,.... The same with Iri, Ch1 7:7 so that these were not sons of Benjamin, as they seem to be, if they are the same with

Muppim and Huppim in Gen 46:21 but his great-grandchildren, and are the same with Shupham and Hupham, from whom families of the tribe of Benjamin sprung, Num 26:39 the Targum calls them the inhabitants of a city, but of what is not said, unless Geba should be meant, Ch1 8:6 and Hushim, the sons of Aher: either the same with Aharah, the third son of Benjamin, Ch1 8:1 or Ahiram, Num 26:38 , though some read the words, "the sons of another"; whom they suppose to be Dan, who otherwise is omitted; and Hushim is the only son of Dan, Gen 46:23 , where the same plural word is used as here; who, they think, is called another, by way of detestation, that tribe being guilty of gross idolatry; but he rather seems to belong to Benjamin.
