1 Chronicles 4:3

Ver. 3. And these were of the father of Etam,.... Or of the prince of Etam: or, as the Targum, these are princes that dwelt in Etam, a place not far from Zorah, Jud 15:8 and is mentioned with Bethlehem and Tekoa in the tribe of Judah, 2Ch 11:6, namely, which follow:

Jezreel, and Ishma, and Idbash; these were the sons of the governor of Etam:

and the name of their sister was Hazelelponi; who, perhaps, was a person of great note in those days, though now unknown; indeed, a Jewish chronologer {w} tells us, that the mother of Samson was Hazalelponith, of the tribe of Judah.

{w} Juchasin, fol. 10. 2.
