- 1 Chronicles 8:8
Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had divorced his wives Hushim and Baara.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:82 voices
But, destitute of natural affection, he forsook or divorced his two wives, and in the land of his sojourn married a third, by whom he had several sons. But there is another explanation given of the conduct of this Benjamite polygamist. His children by Hushim are mentioned (1Ch 8:11), while his other wife is unnoticed.

And Shaharaim,.... Who was either a son of Ahihud, or rather a brother of his, another son of Ehud: begat children in the country of Moab; whither he might go on account of the famine, as Elimelech did, Rth 1:1, after he had sent them away; which some understand of those that were removed from Geba to Manahath, 1Ch 8:6, but a different word is here used; and besides Shaharaim seems to be one of those that were removed.

- 1 Chronicles 8:9
His sons by his wife Hodesh:
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:92 voices
And he begat of Hodesh his wife,.... That is, he, I say, begat, namely, Shaharaim; the Targum makes this Hodesh to be the same with Baara, called so because she was newly espoused; but wrongly: the sons begotten of her were the seven following; Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcham, Jeuz, Shachia, and Mirma. These were his sons; the sons of Shaharaim by his wife Hodesh: heads of the fathers; of the houses or families of their father.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
He begat of Hodesh his wife - In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, etc. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife; so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.
