in the country of Moab
on 1 Chronicles 8:8-12
Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he divorced his wives Hushim and Baara. A line through Elpaal reaches Ono and Lod, towns that reappear in Ezra 2:33 and Nehemiah 11:35. Gill and Clarke differ on whether Hodesh names the same wife called Baara or a separate woman.
This site's exposition
Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz
Hodesh bore seven sons, and by verse 8 they were born in Moab. Mesha shares his name with the king of Moab in 2 Kings 3:4, a fitting name for a family born there. Their line is left untraced.
