who drove away the inhabitants of Gath

on 1 Chronicles 8:13-27

Beriah and Shema, heads of Aijalon, carry the list's one act of war: they drove the inhabitants out of Gath, which Gill reads as payment for what Gath's neighbors had done to Ephraim at 7:21. The roll then runs the sons of Elpaal, Shimhi and Shashak through many verses of names with no further narrative, though Gill passes on a late tradition, traced to Kimchi, identifying one Eliah among them with Elijah the prophet, of the seed of Rachel. Fourteen verses carry the tribe's spread across Aijalon and its towns on the strength of one remembered clash and little else.
