Context of 1 Chronicles 7:20

18Hammoleketh was Gilead's sister. And she had sons called Ishhod, Abiezer and Mahlah. 19The sons of Shemida were Ahian, Shechem, Likhi and Aniam. These are the names of Ephraim's descendants. Ephraim's son was Shuthelah. Shuthelah's son was Bered and Bered's son was Tahath. Tahath's son was Eleadah and Eleadah's son was Tahath. 21Tahath's son was Zabad and Zabad's son was Shuthelah. Ezer and Elead were also sons of Ephraim. They went to Gath and they tried to take some cows and sheep from there. So some men who were born in that city killed them. 22Their father Ephraim cried for them and he was sad for many days. And his family came to help him.
