51. Elah (50) : Kenaz, 1 Ch 4^'^.
Kenaz as 8. Elah is surprising (assuming that the genealogy is not of persons), unless Elah is the name of the distriel of Elath or El-paran, which might have been the early home of the Kenizzites, or the name of a tribe to which Kenaz be- came subordinate. Perhaps a transposition ibould be made im

ihe Heb. tejtt, and instead of Ijf n^N -pi we should read n'-K Ijp '32 ' And these are the sons of Kcnaz,' referring to (46)-(50) (vv. 13-10).
52. Jehallelel : Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, Asarel, 1 Ch 416 * . ■ > >
Jehallelel only here, and as a personal or family name of ss. Herari, 2 Ch 2ai2. Ziph, the name of a city of S. Judah ; Ziphah, fern, form of the same occurs only here. Tiria and Asarel are not mentioned elsewhere.
53. Ezrah : Jether, Mered (54), Epher, Jalon, 1 Ch 4'''.
Ezrah possibly is the same na Ezer (41). Jether la not an tinconmion name.cf. (14). Mered occurs onlyin this connexion. Epher is tlie name of a son of Midian ((in 25-', 1 Ch l^a), and also of an individual or family of the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Ch 6^). Jalon i.s found only here.
54. Hered (53) : (m. Bithiah) Miriam, Shammai, Lshbah f. Eshtemoa, (m. the Jewess) Jered f. Gedor, Heber f. Soco, Jekuthiel f. Zanoah, 1 Ch 4™:
The present text of v.l7f. gives no complete sense. UsflAlly the clauses are rearranged. The statement, "And these are the ss. Bithiah d. Pharaoh which Mered took* (l**!*), is placed immediately after Jalon (17") (Be. Ke. Zoe. Oe. Kau.) ; this gives (54). LXX (in 17'') had a different text (K«; iV=...,o-i. ■Ii»i», which Ki. follows, emending Dnp-nK inni to T^i.i ir.''\ D.nO"nN, ' And Jether begat Miriam,' etc This places Jether aa the progenitor of the ss. given in (64), and assumes that the ss. Mered and Bithiah, originally enumerated, have fallen out of the text. Miriam, elsewhere in OT only of Moses' sister, is here evidently a man's name. Shammai, also the name of a Jeiahmeelite, cf. (8). lshbah and Jekuthiel occur only here, and also Jered, except as the name of the antetiiluvian patri- arch (Gn 5i6rf.). Heber is not uncommon. In (41) Penuel is pven as f. Gedor. Possibly, the posterity of two families or individuals were the reputed founders of the city. Eshtemoa, kiedor, Soco, and Zanoah are all towns in S. Judah or near Hebron (see arts.). Of the connexion here mentioned of Mered or Jether with Bithiah d. Pharaoh nothing is known. Instead of ' the Jewess," BVm transliterates, Hajebudijah, and AV Jehudijah.
55. Hodiah : (m. sister of Naham) f. Keilah the Gannite, Eshtemoa the Maacathite, 1 Ch 4'".
Hodiah is a common name of the time of Ezra and Neh. (AV here wronp;ly a woman's name, ' his wife Hodiah '). Before Eshtemoa probably f. has fallen out. Keilah and Eshtemoa are the names of Judsean towns (see art.). Maacathite ("nj^/Eri) shows prob- ably aconnexion with Maacah (npi^;) (35«). Gannite and Naham occur only here.
56. Shimon : Amnon, Rinnab, Ben-banan, Tilon,
1 Ch 4-^.
57. Ishl : Zoheth, Ben-zoheth, 1 Ch 4»>^
There is nothing to throw light on these names, most of whit-h are mentioned only in this connexion. Ishi is in (11). Probably a name has fallen out before Ben-zoheth, i.e. a. Zoheth.
58. Perez fam. : a. Bani, Jmri, Omri, Ammihud, Uthai, 1 Cli 9''.

59. Zerah (1) : Zimri (Zabdi (60), Jos 7'), Ethan (61), Heman, Calcol, Dara, 1 Cli 2«.
Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara (Darda) are probably the names of famous men of the family of Zerah (cf. 1 K 431) (gee arts. ). Whether Etluan and Heman are to be connected with the Le\ itical singers of those names is uncertain.

3. Uzzi (2) : Izrahiah, Michael, Obadiab, Joel, Isshiah, 1 Ch 7*.
Of the names in the genealogy of Issachar's descendants, Tol» appears as tliat of one of the minor judges, 's. Puah s Dodo a man of Issachar' (Jg ICif). This implies that traditions varied in respect to the relationship of the clans of Tola and Puah. Puah may have been the more ancient, but Tola was un- doubtedly the principal clan of Issachar, whose seat seems to have been centred at the unknown Shamir (Jg W). Of the other persons and families recorded nothing further is known, beyond that those of (2) and (3) are called • mighty men of valour ' ana ,^,"^i,?"^°' "'^ assigned apparently to the time o( David 1 Ch I *-«.
