In the Book of Chronicles (דִּבְרֵי־הַיָּמִים) we learn that the Shuppites and Huppites were the descendants of Ir, and the Hushites the descendants of Akher. This Akher was someone else Akher completely (not the later vilified and misunderstood Rabbi). There are some politicians who try to identify Akher in other texts with the figure of Akhiram from the tribe of Benjamin (in Numbers 26:38).
