[1 Chronicles 8:9 tells us about Shaharaim's family, specifically his sons with his wife Hodesh, which helps us understand the complexities of family relationships in biblical times. This verse reminds us that family is important, just like it was for the Israelites, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 6:6-7. The Bible values the recording of family lines, as seen in 1 Chronicles 8:1-40, to show how God works through generations. By looking at Shaharaim's family, we can see how our own family relationships are a part of a larger story, connected to our community and heritage, just like the Israelites in 1 Chronicles.]

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 8:9
Ver. 9,10. And he begat of Hodesh his wife,.... That is, he, I say, begat, namely, Shaharaim; the Targum makes this Hodesh to be the same with Baara, called so because she was newly espoused; but
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 8:9
And he begat of Hodesh his wife, Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcham, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:9
(9) Hodesh his wife.—The new Moabite wife or settlement of Shaharaim. The names of two of the sons begotten in Moab have a Moabite cast—viz., Mesha’, comp. Mesha’ king of Moab, 2 Kings 3:4; and Malcham, comp. Malcham (Milcom) as a title of the god of Moab and Ammon, Jeremiah 49:1 (Heb.).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 8:9
Verse 9. He begat of Hodesh his wife] In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, c. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.
