Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the sons of Zerah,.... The other twin of Judah:

Zimri, and Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara: five of them in all; the Targum calls them governors, and adds, on whom the spirit of prophecy dwelt; and in the Jewish chronology n they are said to prophesy in Egypt; and the four last are supposed to be the same with those in 1 Kings 4:31.

1 Kings 4:31- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The sons of Zerah - Here, for the first time, the writer of Chronicles draws from sources not otherwise known to us, recording facts not mentioned in the earlier Scriptures. Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, sons of Zerah, are only known to us from this passage, since there are no sufficient grounds for identifying them with the “sons of Mahol” (marginal reference).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 2:6. Five of them in all. — "These were all chief men; and on them the spirit of prophecy rested." - T.
