Ashur the father of Tekoa had two wives
on 1 Chronicles 4:5-8
Ashur the father of Tekoa carries two households through his two wives, and the list traces both without comment on the polygamy the patriarchal age tolerated. Coz, born of Helah, is the ancestor the next two verses use to introduce Jabez, since the family of Aharhel his son leads directly into the more famous name.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And Coz,.... Another son of Helah, and brother of the before mentioned: begat Anub, and Zobebah; of whom we nowhere else read: and the families of Aharhel, the son of Harum; these were of the posterity of Coz; the Targum is, "and the family of Aharhel, this is Hur, the firstborn of Miriam;''which is not at all probable.
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
The son of Harum - Jabez should be mentioned at the end of this verse, else he is as a consequent without an antecedent.
