- 1 Chronicles 2:18 The Hebrew text reads and Jerioth. Since only one woman is mentioned in the next sentence, the word and here seems to be explanatory, producing the meaning also called Jerioth. The text is difficult, and translations vary greatly. By alternate arrangements of the text, Jerioth is understood as the name of the first son or of a second wife.
- 1 Chronicles 2:19 The genealogies of Caleb son of Hezron (not to be confused with Joshua’s companion Caleb) are very confusing, probably because his life was a tangle of wives and concubines. See verses 21-24, 42-47.
