And the sons of his wife Hodiah, etc.] Another wife of Mered. Hillerus f27 takes her to be the same with Jehudijah, (<130418>1 Chronicles 4:18), though some f28 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 f29: the father of Keilah the Garmite; prince of the city of Keilah, in the tribe of Judah, (<061544>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 <130417>1 Chronicles 4:17) who sprung from Maachah, (see <130248>1 Chronicles 2:48).
