What does 1 Chronicles 8:6 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
6. these are the sons of Ehud--most probably the judge of Israel (Jud 3:15). His descendants, who had at first been established in Geba in Benjamin, emigrated in a body under the direction of Gera (1Ch 8:7) to Manahath, where their increased numbers would find more ample accommodation. Manahath was within the territory of Judah.
