Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 8:14
And Ahio, Shashak, and Jerimoth. These were also sons of Elpaal.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 8:14
And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:14
1 Chronicles 8:14 And Ahio, Shashak, and Jeremoth, Ver. 14. Here we have a list of the chieftains of the Benjamites who dwelt at Jerusalem after the captivity.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:14
(14-16) Apparently nine sons of Beriah. But (1) in 1 Chronicles 8:14, the LXX. reads ὁἀδελφὸςαὐτοῦ instead of Ahio. With different vowels the Hebrew term would mean this. (2) All the other names in this list are connected by the conjunctive particle. It is therefore likely that this was once the case with Shashak. (3) 1 Chronicles 8:14-27 give five groups of Benjamite clans—viz., the sons of Beriah, the sons of Elpaal, the sons of Shimhi, the sons of Shashak, and the sons of Jeroham, all dwelling in Jerusalem. Apparently, their eponymous heads are named in 1 Chronicles 8:13-14—viz., Beriah (Elpaal? omitted by accident), Shema (the same as Shimhi; there is no h in the Heb.), Shashak, and Jeremoth (probably the same as Jeroham). If this combination hold, the text of 1 Chronicles 8:14 may be thus restored: “And Elpaal his brother, and Shashak and Jeroham.” Elpaal will then be brother of Beriah (1 Chronicles 8:13), and perhaps son of Elpaal (1 Chronicles 8:12). Shashak and Jeremoth-Jeroham, and the six following names, are sons of Beriah.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 8:14
14. And Ahio] LXX., and his brother. This verse is probably corrupt. If however we read And Elpaal his brother for And Ahio (cp. 1 Chronicles 8:18), and Jeroham for Jeremoth (cp. 1 Chronicles 8:27), we then find in 1 Chronicles 8:13 a and 1 Chronicles 8:14 five names corresponding (with one transposition) with the five names of heads of families given below, viz., Beriah (1 Chronicles 8:16), Elpaal (1 Chronicles 8:18), Shimei (1 Chronicles 8:21, R.V., = Shema), Shashak (1 Chronicles 8:25), and Jeroham (1 Chronicles 8:27).
