Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 12:5
Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite. A native of Haruph or Hariph, see Ne 7:24.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 12:5
Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:5
(5) Jerimoth.—A Benjamite name (1 Chronicles 7:7-8). Bealiah.—Baal is Jah. (Comp. Note on 1 Chronicles 8:33.) Such names indicate that “Baal” was once a title of the God of Israel. The Haruphite.—Nehemiah 7:24 mentions the “sons of Hariph” just before the “sons of Gibeon.” The Hebrew margin here is “Hariphite.”
