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, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber

Verses 17 and 18 give a further list of Elpaal's sons, beside Eber, Misham and Shemed in verse 13. Gill counts everyone from verse 14 to verse 27 as Elpaal's sons and their sons. Meshullam recurs after the exile (1 Chronicles 9:7 to 8).
