Commentary on 1 Chronicles 4:172 voices
“17, 18. she bare Miriam--It is difficult, as the verses stand at present, to see who is meant. The following readjustment of the text clears away the obscurity: ‘These are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took, and she bare Miriam, and his wife Jehudijah bare Jezreel,’ &c.”
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871Reformed
“She bare Miriam - Rather, ‘she conceived.’ The mother is not mentioned, and it seems impossible to restore the original text with any certainty.”
