(8) Nine sons of Becher.
The sons of Becher.—See Note on 1Ch_7:6. The nine Benjamite houses here enumerated might have been known as “sons of the firstborn.” They are nowhere else recorded. The remarkable name Elioenai is frequent in the Chronicles. (See 1Ch_3:23; 1Ch_4:36; 1Ch_7:8; Ezr_10:22; Ezr_10:27; uncontracted, Eliohenai, 1Ch_26:3, Ezr_8:4.)

Anathoth and Alameth (Alemeth) were Levitical towns in Benjamin (1Ch_6:60).
Jerimoth, or Jeremoth (a son of Bela, 1Ch_7:7), looks like another local name. (Comp. Jarmuth and Ramoth.) It also occurs often in the Chronicles (eight or nine times). The clans may have borne the names of their seats.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Joash. This name, of which nothing else is known,…
Joash. This name, of which nothing else is known, is spelt with an ayin, not with an aleph, as are the names of the seven other persons called (Authorized Version) Joash. Jerimoth. This name is spelt with a tsere, and not, as the Jerimoth of ver. 7, with khirik. All the names of this verse must be regarded as those of heads of families, and not the literal sons of Becher.
