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
Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab
The verse closes the list of Elpaal's sons begun in verse 17. A Jobab also appears among the sons of Shaharaim by Hodesh in verse 9, so the name recurs in the family. Gill counts these men among the chiefs who lived in Jerusalem.
