And with them were by their families and peoples, six and thirty thousand most strong men girded to battle; for they had many wives and sons. (And with them, by their families and peoples, were thirty-six thousand most strong men girded for battle; for they had many wives and sons.)

And their brethren, by all the kindreds of Issachar, most strong to fight, were numbered fourscore and seven thousand (numbered eighty-seven thousand).

The sons of Benjamin were Bela, and Becher, and Jediael, three.

22 Therefore Ephraim, the father of them, wailed by many days; and his brethren came to comfort him. (And their father Ephraim bewailed them for many days; and his kinsmen came to comfort him.)

23 And he entered [in] to his wife, which conceived, and childed a son (and bare a son); and he called his name Beriah, for he was born in the evils of his house.

  1. 1 Chronicles 7:14 Here the Hebrew text speaks of ‘an Aramean’, that is, ‘a citizen of Aram’. In Wycliffe’s time, ‘Aram’ was also called ‘Syria’. From this word, the translators mistakenly made the 1st person name, ‘Sira’.
