1 Chronicles 4:17

4:17 The sons of Ezrah:

Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon.

Mered’s wife Bithiah ¹  gave birth to Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa.

Joshua 15:48

15:48 These cities were ²  in the hill country: Shamir, Jattir, Socoh,

[4:17]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and she gave birth to,” without identifying the subject. The words “Mered’s wife Bithiah” are added in the translation for clarification. See v. 18b, which mentions “Bethiah, whom Mered married.”

[15:48]  ² tn The words “These cities were” have been supplied in the translation for English stylistic reasons.
