And the sons of Becher,…. Another son of Benjamin, 1Ch 7:6,
Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth, and Abiah, and Anathoth, and Alameth; the two last of these, according to Kimchi, gave names to two cities in Benjamin, built by them; Anathoth, the native place of Jeremiah the prophet, and Alameth, the same with Bahurim, 2Sa 16:5
all these are the sons of Becher; before named.

(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.
