Example text
Zeruiah is referred to in Chronicles several times, either in texts parallel to 2 Samuel (2 Sam 8:16//1 Chr 18:15) or in texts peculiar to Chronicles (1 Chr 11:6 [as mother of Joab]; 18:12 [as mother of Abshai]). Her name is omitted from one parallel text (1 Chr 11:20//2 Sam 23:18). 12 The mother of the master Huram is mentioned in Chronicles in a somewhat different context than in 1 Kings and described as of a different origin. In 1 Kings, Huram/Hiram is presented as the artist who created the copper vessels for Solomon’s temple, and this is how his pedigree is recorded: “He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father had been a Tyrian” (1 Kgs 7:14).
The wife of Caleb, son of Hezron (2:18–19); (2) Ephrath/ah, the wife of Caleb and the mother of Hur (2:19, 50; 4:4); (3) Abijah, the wife of Hezron (2:24—unless the text is corrupt); (4) Atarah, the “other wife” of Jerahmeel and the mother of Onam (2:26); (5) Abihail, the wife of Abishur (2:29); (6) Ephah, Caleb’s concubine (2:46); (7) Maacah, Caleb’s concubine (2:48); (8) Shaaph (2:49)—Caleb’s wife or concubine? A masculine name? (BH); (9) Shelomith, the daughter of Zerubbabel (3:19); (10–14) Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, Jusab-Hesed (3:19), the daughters of Zerubbabel; they are identified as female by the numeral five, which is given in the feminine form (see also below, p.
43 For this reason, as both Xenophon and Prov 31 indicate, a wife would have needed household help, slaves in Xenophon, “her maids” (NJPS) or “servant girls” (NRSV) in Prov 31:15. Most agrarian households in impoverished postexilic Judah would not have had the luxury of such help, and depended on the women’s ability to shoulder the work themselves—Ezra 2:65//Neh 7:67 mentions only 7,337 male and female slaves when listing the over 42,000 people who populated the province of Judah. Without slaves, a woman’s life would have been constant drudgery.
