1 Chronicles 2:3:

Judah and his Canaanite wife Bathshua had three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah. But the Lord had Er put to death, because he disobeyed and did what the Lord hated.

1 Chronicles 2:24
ab ee yaw'"worshiper of Jehovah"

1 Chronicles 2:24:

After the death of Hezron, in Caleb-ephrathah, Abijah wife of Hezron bore him Ashhur, father of Tekoa.

How Abijah bore Hezron's son after his death is not clear. Given that Hezron married another woman at the age of sixty, we know he was at least sixty when he died. It is possible, that Ashhur was the result of a form of levirate marriage, or Hezron could have impregnated Abijah before his death.

bah ar AW "brutish"

1 Chronicles 8:8:

And Shaharaim had sons in the country of Moab after he had sent away his wives Hushim and Baara.

Shararaim must have married Moabite women, then sent them away. The Bible does not address what happened to these women. They may have been taken back into their own families or have been left without provision. Baara did not have children by Shaharaim Shaharaim.
