"The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shallum, the sons of Bilhah." — 1 Chronicles 7:13 (ASV)
The sons of Naphtali. —See Numbers 26:48 and following, and Genesis 46:24, which read Jahzeel and Shillem.
Sons of Bilhah. —Dan and Naphtali were her sons (Genesis 46:25). That does not, however, prove that a reference to Dan is intended here. Both in Genesis, 50100, and in the present text, grandsons are reckoned.
THE TRIBE OF WEST MANASSEH (1 Chronicles 7:14–19). 1 Chronicles 7:14–15 are very obscure.
