Dictionary of the Bible by James Hastings (1909)

JARAH.—A descendant of Saul, 1Ch 9:42. In 1Ch 8:36 he is called Jehoaddah.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia by James Orr (ed.) (1915)

jā´ra (יערה, ya‛rāh, “honey-comb” (?)): A descendant of King Saul (1Ch 9:42); but the Septuagint’s Codices Vaticanus and Alexandrinus, have Ἰαδά, Iadá = יעדּה, ya‛dāh, a name found in Septuagint of 1Ch 8:36, where Massoretic Text has יהועדּה, yehō‛addāh, Jehoaddah. Some Hebrew manuscripts have ya‛dāh in 1Ch 9:42, and it should probably be accepted as the correct reading there, for ya‛dāh = Jehoaddah yehō‛addāh, linguistically; compare Jonathan and Jehonathan, etc.
