This Bilhah entry should be treated as the southern place-name variant linked with Baalah and Balah, not as the woman Bilhah. It is important because the dataset can otherwise blur person and place. First appears in 1 Chr 4:29.1
AI summary: Bilhah matters here as a settlement-name preserved in the southern tribal lists. The record is best read as geographic, not biographical, within the map of Judah and Simeon.1
