The sons of Naphtali; Jahziel
on 1 Chronicles 7:13-19
Naphtali's whole entry is four sons and nothing more, the same four names Genesis 46:24 gives with one spelling changed, and Henry notes no later generations follow because the tribe's genealogies were lost by the Chronicler's day. Manasseh's entry by contrast is the chapter's most tangled, naming a concubine, a sister who reigns as Hammoleketh, and the daughters of Zelophehad without sons, the same family Numbers 27 and 36 already made a test case for inheritance through women. Women stand at the center of Manasseh's line here in a genealogy chapter that otherwise counts almost none, and Maachah's line through Machir the father of Gilead carries the tribe's name into the land east of Jordan.
The record, by era

And the sons of Shemida,.... Another son of Gilead's sister, unless the same with Ishod; from him sprung the family of the Shemidaites, Num 26:30. were, Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam; from Shechem came the family of the Shethemites, as from Likhi, if he is the same with Helek, as probably he may be, was the family of the Helekites, Num 26:30.
