Maachah

Meaning: pressed down; worn; fastened · Female · 1 cross reference

This Maachah entry refers to Caleb's concubine in 1 Chronicles 2:48, not to the royal women or other figures of the same name elsewhere. She belongs to the domestic and genealogical setting through which Judah's family lines are carried. First appears in 1 Chr 2:48.1

AI summary: This Maachah matters because her single cross reference preserves a named woman within Caleb's extended household. The entry adds maternal and domestic texture to Judah's preserved genealogy and helps show how family memory includes women as well as male line markers. Taken together, the material presents this Maachah as a family figure within Caleb's household.1
