And afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, etc.] Which Machir was the son of Manasseh, and Gilead was his grandson, (<042629>Numbers 26:29) the Targum is, ``but he enticed a virgin, the daughter of Machir;” which suggests, that he committed fornication with her, though he afterwards married her; her name is not mentioned; to me it seems to be Abiah, (<130224>1 Chronicles 2:24) and whom the Targum there calls the daughter of Machir: whom he married when he was sixty years old; the Targum is sixty six; this seems to be his last wife: and she bare him Segub; the same name with the youngest son of Hiel, who rebuilt Jericho, (<111634>1 Kings 16:34).
