1 Chronicles 7:23

Context
7:23 He had sexual relations with his wife; she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. Ephraim 1  named him Beriah because tragedy had come to his family. 2 

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ephraim) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “because in tragedy there had come to his house.” The preposition prefixed to רָעָה (raah) should probably be omitted. The Hebrew noun רָעָה (“tragedy”) should be understood as the subject of the feminine verb form that follows.
