The son of Uzzi was Izrahiah; the sons of Izrahiah were Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Isshiah—five sons and all of them chiefs. They counted 36,000 warriors in their lineage because they had more wives and sons than their brothers.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the sons of Bela; Ezbon, and Uzzi, and Uzziel, and Jerimoth, and Iri, five,.... These are thought by some to be the grandsons of Bela, because of the different names in 1 Chronicles 8:3,
heads of the house of their fathers, mighty men of valour; principal men in their tribe and families, and of great courage:
and were reckoned by their genealogies twenty and two thousand and thirty and four; who sprung from these men.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The lists here are remarkably different from those in marginal references Probably the persons here mentioned were not literally “sons,” but were among the later descendants of the founders, being the chief men of the family at the time of David’s census.
