1 Chronicles 4:19 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:19

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 ) .
