1 Chronicles 7:23

7:23 He had sexual relations with his wife; she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim ³  named him Beriah because tragedy had come to his family. ⁴ 

1 Chronicles 23:11

23:11 Jahath was the oldest and Zizah the second oldest. Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were considered one family with one responsibility.

[23:10]  ¹ tc The MT reads “Zina” here and “Zizah” in v. 11. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, and the Vulgate, harmonizing the form of the name to that found in v. 11, read “Zizah” here.

[23:10]  ² sn Verses 8-10 are confusing. Two different lists of Shimei’s sons appear. In between these lists is the statement “these were the leaders of the family of Ladan,” suggesting that the list just before this includes the sons of Ladan, not Shimei. But verse 8 already lists Ladan’s sons. Apparently the text as it stands is a conflation of differing traditions.

[7:23]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:23]  ² tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (ra’ah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.
