Commentary

3 notes on this verse
Jerahmeel had also another wife, whose name was Atarah,.... Distinct from his wife before named; or "another woman", which is a phrase for an harlot or concubine, Jdg 11:2 which she might be, as Kimchi observes; though the former seems best: she was the mother of Onam; and perhaps was the only son she bore to Jerahmeel, of whose sons see 1Ch 2:28.

This site's exposition

the firstborn of Hezron

on 1 Chronicles 2:25-41

Jerahmeel's branch runs in bare names, and the notice that a son died without children marks a line that goes no further. It ends in Sheshan, and Sheshan had no sons, but only daughters. Sheshan gave his daughter in marriage to his servant Jarha, an Egyptian, and she bore Attai.

This site's exposition

Jerahmeel had another wife named Atarah

Jerahmeel's line runs through two wives, and the second, Atarah, is the mother of Onam, whose descendants fill verses 28 to 41. Gill takes Atarah as a second lawful wife. Onam's line is the longer of the two.
