Commentary for I Chronicles 1:23

וְאֶת־אוֹפִ֥יר וְאֶת־חֲוִילָ֖ה וְאֶת־יוֹבָ֑ב כָּל־אֵ֖לֶּה בְּנֵ֥י יָקְטָֽן׃ (ס)

and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

Rashi on I Chronicles

all these were the sons of Joktan for he belittled his affairs. Eber was a great prophet (for he named his son for a future event), but the names of the others were not meant to be expounded upon, for they were not inspired by prophetic word.
