Context of 1 Chronicles 7:14

12The Shuppites and Huppites were descendants of Ir; the Hushites were descendants of Aher. 13The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, Guni, Jezer, and Shallum – sons of Bilhah. The sons of Manasseh: Asriel, who was born to Manasseh’s Aramean concubine. She also gave birth to Makir the father of Gilead. 15Now Makir married a wife from the Huppites and Shuppites.

His brother was Sheresh, and his sons were Ulam and Rekem.
