In 1 Chronicles 8:39, the form עֵ֣שֶׁק is tagged as a proper noun and identifies the brother whose sons are listed. The APB renders the clause, "The sons of Eshek his brother were Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Chronicles 8:39, the APB presents the term as "Eshek" in the phrase "The sons of Eshek his brother." The verse is read as a whole, but the genealogical clause clearly treats it as the name of the sons’ father.
