- 1 Chronicles 2:17 Variant the Israelite here and in 2 Samuel 17:25
- 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.
