Commentary
4 notes on this verseAnd the sons of Jether,.... The same with Ithran, the last of Zophah's sons but one, 1Ch 7:37, Jephunneh, and Pispah, and Ara; not Jephunneh the father of Caleb; he was not of the tribe of Asher, but of Judah.
This site's exposition
The children of Asher
on 1 Chronicles 7:30-40
Asher's record runs three generations after Beriah and closes with 26,000 men fit for battle. Verse 40 calls them choice and mighty men of valor, and chiefs among the leaders. Gill points out that Dan and Zebulun get no entry anywhere in this chapter.
This site's exposition
The sons of Jether
Gill identifies Jether with Ithran of verse 37. He also notes that this Jephunneh is an Asherite, a different man from Jephunneh the father of Caleb, who was of Judah (Numbers 13:6). Pispa and Ara close the branch.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Here is no account either of Zebulun or Dan. Why they only should be omitted we can assign no reason; only it is the disgrace of the tribe of Dan that idolatry began in that colony of the Danites which fixed in Laish, and called Dan, and there one of the golden calves was set up by Jeroboam.
