Helez the Pelonite, an Ephraimite
on 1 Chronicles 27:10-15
The list runs out the remaining six months, one division of 24,000 men after another, with no story attached to any of the six names. Chronicles lets the rest of the year's captains stand as names alone, as the book does through most of its rosters.

Sibbecai the Hushathite, a Zerahite
