John Gill 1763 · Public Domain And Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, and Gera, and…
And Abishua, and Naaman, and Ahoah, and Gera, and Shephuphan, and Huram. These were all the sons of Bela; one of the name of Naaman is reckoned among the sons of Benjamin, Gen 46:21 and from this grandson the family of the Naamanites are named, Num 26:40, and Ahoah is by some thought to be the same with Ehi, mentioned in Gen 46:21 as one of Benjamin's sons. Some take the three last to be the sons of Ehud, spoken of in the next verse; but Shephuphan and Huram seem to be the same with Shupham and Hupham, Num 26:39.

1 Chronicles 8:6
ch1 8:6
ch1 8:6
ch1 8:6And these are the sons of Ehud,.... Not he that was a judge in Israel, Jdg 3:15 but perhaps a son of Huram the last mentioned; for not the three last are his sons, as some think, but the three following in the next verse; what follows being to be read in a parenthesis:
(these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba;) a city in the tribe of Benjamin, Jos 18:24 namely, those sons of Ehud, after mentioned, were principal men in that tribe, and chief of the inhabitants of the city of Geba:
and they removed them to Manahath; the name of a country referred to in Ch1 2:52 according to Jarchi, which was in the tribe of Judah; Geba being too small, either the inhabitants of Geba removed them, or they removed themselves, or their fathers removed them, Ch1 8:7, or it may be read impersonally, they were removed thither for the sake of a better habitation; the Targum adds,"to the land of the house of Esau,''to Edom; which is not likely.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Vers. 3-5 Nine sons are here assigned to Bela.…
Vers. 3-5 Nine sons are here assigned to Bela. only finds us clearly three of them, and these in very different order, viz. Gera, Naaman, and Arel; and Numbers (Num_26:39, Num_26:40) finds us only three, viz. Ard, Naaman, and Shupham. Yet our Huram may correspond with Hupham, and then the four pairs of names Shephuphan and Huram, Shupham and Hupham, Shuppim and Huppim, and Muppim and Huppim may be interpreted as designating one and the same couple of persons. The recurrence of the name Gera in ver. 5, so close upon the same name in ver. 3, would of course be more remarkable, and point inevitably to the disordered state of the text, if it were necessary to suppose that these nine persons were really brothers, as well as called sons of Bela.

8:3 Gera, Abihud: As translated, Bela had two sons named Gera (8:3, 5), an unusual situation. If the rendering suggested in the NLT note is correct, the second Gera was the first Gera’s son.
