And the sons of his wife Hodiah
Another wife of Mered. Hillerus F3 takes her to be the same with Jehudijah, ( 1 Chronicles 4:18 ) , though some F4 take Hodiah to be the name of a man, and read the words, "and the sons of the wife of Hodiah"; which wife of Hodiah was
the sister of Naham;
or rather Achotnaham, we render the sister of Naham, is the name of the first son of Hodiah, as some think F5:
the father of Keilah the Garmite;
prince of the city of Keilah, in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:44 ) who sprung from the family of Garmi:
and Eshtemoa the Maachathite;
the father or prince of the inhabitants of Eshtemoa, another city in the same tribe, see ( 1 Chronicles 4:17 ) who sprung from Maachah, see ( 1 Chronicles 2:48 ) .
