1 Chronicles 7:12 -

Shuppim… and Huppim . These two, called ( Numbers 36:1-13 :39) "Shupham and Hupham," and 1 Chronicles 8:5 "Shephuphan and Huram," are mentioned ( Genesis 46:21 ) as among those who went down with Jacob into Egypt, are called "Muppim and Huppim," and are described as "sons of Benjamin." They are here described as sons of Iri, or Ir, which would make them great-grandsons of Benjamin, a thing impossible. Hushim, the sons of Aher . Nothing can be said with confidence of either of these names. The Hushim of Genesis 46:23 (called Shuham, Numbers 26:42 ) are expressly given as a family of Dan, while the Hushim of 1 Chronicles 8:8 , 1 Chronicles 8:11 , is manifestly the name, not of a family, but of an individual, and that a woman. Bertheau takes the opportunity of urging, in connection with this name, that Dan is not entirely omitted in our work of Chronicles! But his foundation is surely far too slender to build upon. Bertheau and Zockler (in Lange, 'Alt. Test.') would translate אַחֵר "another," or "the other," instancing not very pertinently, Ezra 2:31 , and referring the allusion to Dan. He also thinks that this is corroborated by the expression, "the sons of Bilhah," in the next verse.
