in the country of Moab
on 1 Chronicles 8:8-12
A rare narrative fragment breaks the name list: Shaharaim, having sent away his first household, fathers children in Moab by two more wives, and a line through his son Elpaal reaches two towns, Ono and Lod. Both towns reappear centuries later in the rosters of Benjamites who returned from exile, at Ezra 2:33 and Nehemiah 11:35, so a family founded here by a man who left the land for Moab is remembered again in the list of those who came back to it. Gill and Clarke both treat the record as genuine family history rather than scribal confusion, differing only on whether Hodesh names the same wife elsewhere called Baara or a separate woman.
