Bela is a son of Benjamin in all four lists. Genesis 46:21 and 1 Chronicles 7:6 name Becher a son of Benjamin, and Genesis 46:21, Numbers 26:38 and 1 Chronicles 8:1 name Ashbel so. Genesis makes Ard and Naaman sons of Benjamin and Numbers makes them sons of Bela, so this collection records the two with different fathers apart. 1 Chronicles 8:4 also names Naaman a son of Bela, and this collection joins him to the Naaman of Numbers 26:40. Ahiram, Shephupham and Hupham are names Genesis 46:21 does not have; Jediael (1 Chronicles 7:6) and Aharah, Nohah and Rapha (8:1–2) are names neither Genesis nor Numbers has in its list; and no name stands among the sons of Bela in both 1 Chronicles 7:7 and 8:3–5. Apart from the Naaman of 8:4, this collection records these names of 1 Chronicles as names of their lists and joins them to no entry, and it does not decide which names are the same men.
