16, 17<\/strong>. The connexion of these names with Judah does not appear. Ziph however is the name of a place in the south of Judah (1Sa 23:15<\/span>; 1Sa 23:19<\/span>).<\/p>\n Jehaleleel; <\/B>the son of Kenaz, or Uknaz, last mentioned. <\/P> <\/p>\n And the sons of Jehaleleel<\/strong>,…. Who probably was the son of Uknaz:<\/p>\n Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel<\/strong>; there were two cities in the tribe of Judah of the name of Ziph, Jos 15:24<\/span>, which might be called from these men, or from Ziph in 1Ch 2:42<\/span>.<\/p>\n Descendants of various men<\/em>, whose genealogical connection with the sons and grandsons of Judah, mentioned in 1Ch 4:1<\/span>, is not given in the text as it has come to us.<\/p>\n 1Ch 4:16<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> Sons of Jehaleleel, a man not elsewhere mentioned. Ziph, Ziphah, etc., are met with only here. There is no strong reason for connecting the name with the towns of that name, Jos 15:24<\/span>, Jos 15:55<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ch 4:17-19<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> Ezra, whose four sons are enumerated, is likewise unknown. The singular is peculiar, but has analogies in 1Ch 3:19<\/span>, 1Ch 3:21<\/span>, and 1Ch 3:23<\/span>. Of the names of his sons, Jether and Epher again occur, the former in 1Ch 2:53<\/span>, and the latter in 1Ch 1:33<\/span> and 1Ch 5:24<\/span>, but in other families. Jalon, on the contrary, is found only here. The children of two wives of Mered are enumerated in 1Ch 4:17<\/span> and 1Ch 4:18<\/span>, but in a fashion which is quite unintelligible, and shows clear traces of a corruption in the text. For (1) the name of a woman as subject of , “and she conceived (bare),” is wanting; and (2) in 1Ch 4:18<\/span> the names of two women occur, Jehudijah and Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh. But the sons of Jehudijah are first given, and there follows thereupon the formula, “and these are the sons of Bithiah,” without any mention of the names of these sons. This manifest confusion Bertheau has sought to remove by a happy transposition of the words. He suggests that the words, “and these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered had taken,” should be placed immediately after . “By this means we obtain (1) the missing subject of ; (2) the definite statement that Mered had two wives, with whom he begat sons; and (3) an arrangement by which the sons are enumerated after the names of their respective mothers.” After this transposition the 1Ch 4:17<\/span> would read thus: “And the sons of Ezra are Jether, Mered, … and Jalon; and these are the sons of Bithia the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took; and she conceived (and bare) Miriam, and Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa (1Ch 4:18<\/span>), and his wife Jehudijah bore Jered the father of Gedor, etc.” This conjecture commends itself by its simplicity, and by the clearness which it brings into the words. From them we then learn that two families, who dwelt in a number of the cities of Judah, were descended from Mered the son of Ezra by his two wives. We certainly know no more details concerning them, as neither Mered not his children are met with elsewhere. From the circumstance, however, that the one wife was a daughter of Pharaoh, we may conclude that Mered lived before the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The name Miriam, which Moses’ sister bore, is here a man’s name. The names introduced by are the names of towns. Ishbah is father (lord) of the town Eshtemoa, in the mountains of Judah, now Semua, a village to the south of Hebron, with considerable ruins dating from ancient times (cf. on Jos 15:50<\/span>). means properly “the Jewess,” as distinguished from the Egyptian woman, Pharaoh’s daughter. Gedor is a town in the high lands of Judah (cf. on 1Ch 4:4<\/span>). Socho, in the low land of Judah, now Shuweikeh, in Wady Sumt (cf. on Jos 15:35<\/span>). Zanoah is the name of a town in the high lands of Judah, Jos 15:56<\/span> (which has not yet been discovered), and of a town in the low land, now Zanua, not far from Zoreah, in an easterly direction (cf. on Jos 15:34<\/span>). Perhaps the latter is here meant .<\/em> In 1Ch 4:19<\/span>, “the sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, are the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maachathite.” The stat. contr. before shows that Hodiah is a man’s name. Levites of this name are mentioned in Neh 8:7<\/span>; Neh 9:5<\/span>; Neh 10:11<\/span>. The relationship of Hodiah and Naham to the persons formerly named is not given. is a locality in the low land of Judah not yet discovered (see on Jos 15:44<\/span>). The origin of the Epithet we do not know. Before , with copul. is probably to be repeated; and the Maachathite, the chief of a part of the inhabitants of Eshtemoa, is perhaps a descendant of Caleb by Maachah (1Ch 2:48<\/span>).<\/p>\n 1Ch 4:20<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> Of Shimon and his four sons, also, nothing is known. is one name. Ishi is often met with, e.g., 1Ch 4:42<\/span> and 1Ch 2:31<\/span>, but nowhere in connection with Zoheth (not further noticed). The names of the sons are wanting after .<\/p>\n (16) The sons of Jehaleleel.<\/strong>Heb., Yehallel-l, <\/em>he praiseth God.<\/p>\n Ziph<\/strong> is known, from Jos. 15:21<\/span>; Jos. 15:24<\/span>, as one of the cities of the children of Judah, towards the border of Edom, southwards. Perhaps, therefore, the sons of Jehallel-el also were Edomite-Kenizzites. Another Ziph, perhaps our Ziphah, is mentioned as in the hill-country, Jos. 15:55<\/span>.<\/p>\n Asareel <\/strong>is perhaps a dialectic form of Israel (See 1Ch. 25:2<\/span>; 1Ch. 25:14<\/span>.) A foreign clan might take the name of its adopted people.<\/p>\n Jehudijah = the Jewess. <\/p>\n Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh. Is Bithiah the same as Jehudijah, and did she turn a Jewess? Mered was evidently a man of position. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 1Ch 4:17 – Ezra<\/p>\n And the sons of Jehaleleel; Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel. 16, 17. The connexion of these names with Judah does not appear. Ziph however is the name of a place in the south of Judah (1Sa 23:15; 1Sa 23:19).
