The sons of Shomer
This phrase introduces us to the descendants of Shomer, a figure within the genealogical records of the tribe of Asher. The name "Shomer" in Hebrew can mean "watchman" or "guardian," suggesting a role of vigilance and protection. In the context of ancient Israel, genealogies were crucial for establishing tribal identities and inheritance rights. The mention of Shomer's sons highlights the continuity of family lines and the importance of lineage in maintaining the covenant community.

Ahi
The name "Ahi" is derived from the Hebrew word "אָחִי" (Achi), meaning "my brother." This name reflects the close-knit nature of family and tribal relationships in ancient Israel. It underscores the value placed on brotherhood and unity within the community. In a broader spiritual sense, it reminds believers of the importance of fellowship and mutual support within the body of Christ.

Rohgah
The name "Rohgah" is less common and its exact meaning is uncertain, but it may be related to the Hebrew root "רָגַע" (raga), which can mean "to be at rest" or "to be quiet." This could imply a sense of peace or tranquility associated with this individual. In the biblical narrative, names often carried prophetic or aspirational significance, suggesting that Rohgah's life or character might have embodied these qualities.

Hubbah
The name "Hubbah" is also rare and its meaning is not well-documented. However, it may be linked to the Hebrew root "חָבַב" (chavav), meaning "to love" or "to cherish." This connection highlights the theme of love and affection within the family unit. In a spiritual context, it serves as a reminder of God's love for His people and the call for believers to love one another deeply.

Aram
The name "Aram" is more familiar, often associated with the region and people of Aram, located northeast of Israel. In Hebrew, "Aram" (אֲרָם) can mean "exalted" or "high." This name might reflect a position of honor or prominence within the family or tribe. Historically, the Arameans were significant neighbors and sometimes adversaries of Israel, and the name's inclusion here may indicate a broader connection or influence.

(34) Shamer (pausai form of Shemer) probably identical with Shomer, the second son of Heber (1Chronicles 7:32).

Jehubbah.--Heb. margin has we-Hubbah, "and Hubbah," which is correct according to the prevailing form of this list (and before each name).

Aram is the ordinary name of the Syrians east and west of the Euphrates. It may here designate a clan of half -Aramean extraction.

(35?39) And the sons of his brother Helem.--Apparently the offshoots of Helem, "brother" of Sheraer-Shomer. If we construe brother in the strict sense, we must assume that Helem is the same as Hotham (1Chronicles 7:32), and that one or the other name is corrupt. But Helem may be the name of another chief house of Asher not directly connected with that of Heber. The brotherhood then would be that of the tribe, not of the clan or family.

Verses 34, 35. - Ahi. It seems impossible to decide with certainty whether this is the name of a person or whether, with the vau, which otherwise begins the next word, it should not be translated "his brother," ie. the brother of Japhlet. In ver. 32 the names of three brothers are given, sons of Heber, viz. Japhlet, Shomer, and Hotham. Now, the name Helem, in ver. 35, is supposed to point to this Hotham. If it be so, it would so far be an argument that Ahi, in ver. 34, should be translated "his brother," in correspondence with the undoubted "his brother" of ver. 35. Of no one of the names in these verses is anything further known.
