1 Chronicles 7:23

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And when he went in to his wife,.... After his grief and sorrow in part at least had subsided:she conceived and bare a son; which in some measure made up for the loss he had sustained:and he called his name Beriah; which signifies being "in evil" or calamity, he being born in an evil time:because it went evil with his house; or evil was in his house, as Noldius , in his family; a great calamity had befallen it.
