Pilneser is not directly mentioned in this verse, but is understood to be a variant or a scribal error for one of the names listed, possibly Bezer or another descendant.The tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, was known for its rich agricultural land and was allotted territory in the western part of the land of Canaan, along the Mediterranean coast. Asher's descendants were noted for their prosperity and abundance, as reflected in Jacob's blessing: "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king" (Genesis 49:20). The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial context of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing their continuity and the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.
