1 Chronicles 8:3
"And the sons of Bela were, Addar, and Gera, and Abihud,"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

The sons of Bela were Addar, and Gera, and Abihud. The first of these is thought to be the same with Ard, mentioned among the sons of Benjamin, Gen 46:21

but was one of his grandsons, see Num 26:40 as Gera also was.
