Exegesis
The verse opens with the demonstrative eleh {אֵ֣לֶּה | ʾêl-leh} ‘these’, repeated to focus on specific individuals.
The second eleh {אֵ֖לֶּה | ʾêl-leh} returns the demonstrative to maintain topical continuity.
In context — 1 Chronicles 8:28
These were the heads of fathers’ houses for their generations, chief men; these dwelt in Jerusalem .
