3 notes on this verse
And Rephah was his son,.... The son of Beriah, whose genealogy from him is traced down to Joshua in this and the two following verses, and stands thus: after Rephah, Resheph, Telah, Tahan, Laadan, Ammihud, Elishama, who was prince of the tribe of Ephraim in the wilderness, Num 1:10, then Non or Nun, whose son was Jehoshua or Joshua.

the sons of Ephraim; Shuthelah

on 1 Chronicles 7:20-27

Ephraim's genealogy carries the chapter's one full narrative scene: Ezer and Elead killed raiding cattle from the men of Gath, and their father Ephraim mourning many days before naming the son born after, Beriah, because it went evil with his house, a family tragedy recorded nowhere else in Scripture. Wesley notes the ancient Hebrew writers preserved the same event outside the biblical text, while Jamieson Fausset and Brown read the Gittites as the aggressors rather than Ephraim's sons. The line then runs unbroken to Nun and Jehoshua, so Joshua's own ancestry stands inside this list, and his sister Sherah earns a rare mention for building both Beth-horons and a city named for herself.

Second - Of the second son or grandson of Machir; for so Zelophehad was. Had daughters - Only daughters, and no sons. These - Ashriel and Zelophehad, named ver. 14, 15, the relative being here referred to the remoter antecedent; as is frequent in the Hebrew.
