| Easton's Bible Dictionary Passing over. (1.) Son of Beriah and grandson of Asher (Genesis 46:17; 1 Chronicles 7:31, 32). (2.) The Kenite (Judges 4:11, 17; 5:24), a descendant of Hobab. His wife Jael received Sisera (q.v.) into her tent and then killed him. (3.) 1 Chronicles 4:18. (4.) A Benjamite (1 Chronicles 8:17). (5.) A Gadite (5:13). (see EBER.) Int. Standard Bible Encyclopedia HEBER he'-ber (chebher, "associate" or, possibly, "enchanter"; Eber): A name occurring several times in the Old Testament as the name of an individual or of a clan.
(1) A member of the tribe of Asher and son of Beraiah (Genesis 46:17 Numbers 26:45 1 Chronicles 7:31 f).
(2) A Kenite, husband of Jael, who deceptively slew Sisera, captain of the army of Jabin, a Canaanite king (Judges 4:17; Judges 5:24). He had separated himself from the main body of the Kenites, which accounts for his tent being near Kedesh, the place of Sisera's disastrous battle (Judges 4:11).
(3) Head of a clan of Judah, and son of Mered by his Jewish, as distinguished from an Egyptian wife. He was father, or founder, of Soco (1 Chronicles 4:18).
(4) A Benjamite, or clan or family of Elpaal belonging to Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:17).
(5) Heber, of our Lord's genealogy (Luke 3:35 the King James Version), better, Eber.
So, the name "Eber," `ebher, in 1 Chronicles 5:13; 1 Chronicles 8:22, is not to be confused with Heber, chebher, as in the foregoing passages.
