Shomer: 1 Chronicles 7:34, Shamer

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Heber,.... The other grandson of Asher; and son of Beriah;

begat Japhlet, and Shomer, and Hotham, and Shuah their sister; a place on the borders of Ephraim is called the coast of Japhleti; but whether from this Japhlet is uncertain.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 32. And Shua their sister. — It is very rarely that women are found in the Jewish genealogies, and they are never inserted but for especial reasons.
