SCRIPTURE

"And his daughter was Sheerah, who built Beth-horon the nether and the upper, and Uzzen-sheerah." — 1 Chronicles 7:24 (ASV)

And his daughter was Sherah
That is, the daughter of Beriah; not an immediate daughter, but a descendant of his, otherwise she could not have reached the times of Joshua, as she did by what follows:

who built Bethhoron the nether, and the upper ;
which were cities on the border of the tribe of Ephraim; which the Israelites having taken from the Canaanites, and destroyed, she rebuilt, see (Joshua 16:3Joshua 16:5)

and Uzzensherah ;
which was called after her own name, and to distinguish it from another place called Uzzen; though of neither of them do we read elsewhere.
