1 Chronicles 8:9

Listen to 1 Chronicles 8:9
9 and he begat of Hodesh, his (new) wife, Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcham,

1 Chronicles 8:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 9,10. And he begat of Hodesh his wife
That is, he, I say, begat, namely, Shaharaim; the Targum makes this Hodesh to be the same with Baara, called so because she was newly espoused; but wrongly: the sons begotten of her were the seven following;

Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcham, Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirma. These were his
sons;
the sons of Shaharaim by his wife Hodesh:

heads of the fathers;
of the houses or families of their father.
