[See comments on 2 Chronicles 24:20]
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:23
The first; which word is fitly supplied both out of the rest of this verse, the second, third, and fourth having a manifest reference to the first, and out of 26:31, where it is expressed.
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:23
1 Chronicles 24:23 And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.Ver. 23. And the sons of Hebron.] Hebron is not in the original, but well supplied out of 1 Chronicles 23:19; 1 Chronicles 26:31. See the like lacuna in 1 Chronicles 2:53.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 24:23
(23) And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first.—The Hebrew text is here mutilated. Our translators have emended it from 1 Chronicles 23:19. The names of the houses or classes are given, without those of the heads.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 24:23
23. And the sons of Hebron] The text of this verse is mutilated, but it has been restored in A.V. (so also R.V.) from 1 Chronicles 23:19.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:23
Neither “Hebron” nor “the first” is found in the present Hebrew text; but they seem to have been rightly supplied by our translators from 1 Chronicles 23:19.
