Translation commentary on 1 Chronicles 7:33

Japhlet was the son of Heber (verse 32) and the great-grandson of Asher.

These are the sons of Japhlet: The repetition of this information as a separate sentence at the end of the verse may seem unnecessary in some languages. If this is the case, Good News Translation may be a good model.
