1 Chronicles 8:38

38 Azel had six sons: Azrikam his firstborn,
The Hebrew text has בֹּכְרוּ (bokheru), which some understand as a name: “Bocheru” (so, e.g., NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). But the form should probably be revocalized בְּכֹרוֹ (bekhoru, “his firstborn”). A name has accidentally dropped from the list, and a scribe apparently read בֹּכְרוּ as one of the names.
followed by Ishmael, Sheariah,
The Lucianic recension of the LXX inserts another name here, καὶ Ἀζαριας (kai Azarias, “and Azariah”), presumably to make up the six sons mentioned at the beginning of the verse (see the previous [V] note on “firstborn”). Cf. NAB.
Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel.
