1 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 1 Chronicles 7:20 The list of ancestors for Joshua 1:1, the most famous Ephraimite, is given in vv. 1 Chronicles 7:20 (from Numbers 26:35). A historical note (1 Chronicles 7:21) probably refers to the postconquest period: the building of Lower and Upper Beth-horon fits better with the time of tribal settlement. In this case, Ephraim (v. 1 Chronicles 7:22) would refer not to the patriarch but to a later descendant. Gath may be Gittaim, on the Ephraimite border. Verses 1 Chronicles 7:28 draw on Joshua 16:1 for details of the settlements of Ephraim and Manasseh, since both tribes descended from Joseph.
