  [Yithrâ <\\S#3501h\\>,] Ithra, the latter only having the

  was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion.

  [Kel-wbay <\\S#3621h\\>,]; the latter simply having a [Vâv,]
  {wav} inserted, and a [Y"de,] {yood} affixed.  This person
  must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for

  Eusebius says it was called in his time [          ,] Kanatha;
  and was a town in the Trachonitis, near Bozra.  Josephus
  places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the
  cities of the Decapolis.  It was also called Nobah, after
  Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it, (Nu. 32:42;) which is

VERSE 35

  When the people of the East have no sons, they frequently
  marry their daughters to their slaves, even when they have
  much property to bestow upon them.  Hassan had been the slave
  of Kamel, his predecessor; but Kamel, according to the custom
  of the country, gave him one of his daughters in marriage, and
  left him at his death one part of his great riches which he
  had amassed in the course of a long and prosperous life

- Elishama.
   * Nu 1:10 2Ki 25:25

VERSE 42 
 - Caleb.
  This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of
  Hezron, and therefore called the brother of Jerahmeel:  See
  the parallel texts:

   * :9

   * :18,19,24
- his first-born.
   * Ge 49:3 Ex 4:22,23 Ro 8:29 Heb 12:23
- the father.  i.e, the founder.
  Or, as the Targum renders, "the prince of the Ziphites;" for
  it was usual to call both the founder and the prince of a city
  its father.

- Ziph.

  Madmannah was a city situated in the southern part of Judah,
  and towards Gaza, according to Eusebius.

   * Jos 15:31 Isa 10:31
- Madmenah.  Gibea.
  It is probable this was not Gibeah of Benjamin, and the royal
  residence of Saul, but Gibeah in the tribe of Judah, to which
  all these other cities belonged.

   * Jos 15:57 2Sa 21:6
- Gibeah.

VERSE 52

   * 1Ch 4:2
  As Haroeh and Reaiah have nearly the same signification, it is

  Hatsihammenuchoth.
