That they were not, however, properly &ldquo;brothers,&rdquo; is clear from the fact that Bela&#8217;s descent is traced back to Joel as the third of the preceding members of his family; and the conclusion would be the same, even if this Joel be another than the one mentioned in <span class='bible'>1Ch 5:4<\/span>.
