Hodiah

Female · 1 cross reference

Hodiah is the wife of Mered in 1 Chronicles 4 and the mother of Eshtemoa and Garmite. She belongs to the domestic and genealogical setting through which Judah's family lines are carried. First appears in 1 Chr 4:19.1

AI summary: Hodiah matters because her single cross reference preserves a named woman at a key junction in one branch of Judah's genealogy. The entry gives maternal texture to a line often remembered mainly through male descent. Taken together, the material presents Hodiah as a significant maternal figure in Judah's family record.1
