John Gill Commentary 1 Chronicles 5:6

"Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites." — 1 Chronicles 5:6 (ASV)

Beerah his son
The last of Joel's posterity, who, according to the Targum and other Jewish writers ^F17 was a prophet, and the father of Hosea, see (Hosea 1:1) but neither the name, title, time, nor tribe, agree:

whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive ;
the same with Tiglathpileser by a transposition of letters, (2 Kings 15:29) and is read the same here in the Greek, Syriac, and Arabic versions:

he [was] prince of the Reubenites ;
at that time; that is, Beerah was.
