Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 1:41
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 1:38].
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 1:41
(41) The sons of Anah; Dishon.—Genesis 36:25 adds, “and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.” (Comp. 1 Chronicles 1:52, “the chiliarch of Aholibamah.”) Dishon, like Ammon or Israel, being the collective name of a number of tribes or clans, there is nothing strange in the expression, “The sons of Anah; Dishon.”
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 1:41
Amram (rather Hamran), and Hemdan (margin), differ in the original by the same letter only which marks the difference in 1 Chronicles 1:30.
