the sons of Micah were
on 1 Chronicles 8:35-40
Micah's line runs six generations past him, Jehoadah to Azel, and Azel's own six sons are named individually rather than folded into a summary, an unusual density this late in a Benjamite roll. The record does not stop at Saul's death on Gilboa or at David's dynasty replacing his house; it keeps counting fathers and sons long after the kingdom left this family, evidence the compiler still held records for a line whose claim to the throne was long over. The chapter closes on Ulam's sons, archers and mighty men of valour a hundred and fifty strong, and Henry reads the note as praise for service rather than for rank, a family remembered for usefulness once the crown was gone from it.
The record, by era

And Moza begat Binea; Rapha was his son,.... Called Rephaiah, 1Ch 9:43. Elasah his son; whose name is Eleasah, 1Ch 9:43. Azel his son.
They are Jasher, Jeshurun--just ones, and the memory of the just is blessed. Many of these we have reason to fear, came short of everlasting honour (for even the wicked kings of Judah come into the genealogy), yet the perpetuating of their names here was a figure of the writing of the names of all God's spiritual Israel in the Lamb's book of life.
