John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And the sons of Jahdai, etc.] Who is not mentioned by this name before; perhaps the same with Moza, who might have two names, though, according to Hillerus f19, he was the son of Moza; some take it to be the name of another of Caleb’s concubines, by whom he had the six following sons: Regem, and Jotham, and Geshan, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph; one of these, Pelet perhaps, gave name to Bethpalet in the tribe of Judah, (<061527>Joshua 15:27).”
