who drove out the inhabitants of Gath

on 1 Chronicles 8:13-27

Beriah and Shema were the heads of families of the inhabitants of Aijalon, and they drove out the inhabitants of Gath. Gill links this to the killing of Ephraim's sons by the natives of Gath in 1 Chronicles 7:21. The roll runs through the sons of Elpaal, Shimei and Shashak.

This site's exposition

Zebadiah, Arad, Eder

These are further sons of Beriah, the chief of Aijalon who drove out the men of Gath in verse 13. Arad and Eder share their names with towns of the Negev (Numbers 21:1; Joshua 15:21). Another Zebadiah follows in verse 17.
