Exegesis
What follows is a long paratactic roster: names are mostly linked by coordinating conjunctions (waw), but the occasional asyndeton (for example, eliab {אֱלִיאָב | ʾĕ·lî·ʾāḇ} without a preceding conjunction) is normal in Hebrew list style and does not signal a new clause.
In context — 1 Chronicles 15:18
And with them were their brothers, the second rank : Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers .
