And the sons of Shemida,.... Another son of Gilead's sister, unless the same with Ishod; from him sprung the family of the Shemidaites, Numbers 26:30.
were, Ahian, and Shechem, and Likhi, and Aniam; from Shechem came the family of the Shethemites, as from Likhi, if he is the same with Helek, as probably he may be, was the family of the Helekites, Numbers 26:30.

The sons of Shemida, the founder of the fourth family of the Manassites, Numbers 26:32. His four sons are nowhere else referred to, for שׁכם, the founder of a family of the Manassites (Numbers 26:31 and Joshua 17:2), is to be distinguished from the Shechem of our verse; nor is there any greater reason to identify Likhi with Helek, Numbers 26:30 (Berth.), than there is for connecting אניעם with נעם, the daughter of Zelophehad, Numbers 26:33; Joshua 17:3.
