Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 19. - The first clause of this verse in the Hebrew is, And the sons of the wife of Hodiah. The margin offers the Jewess again for Hodiah. Nothing is known explanatory of the descriptive word Garmite here. Its meaning, according to Gesenins, is "bony." Eahtomoa is here distinguished from the same-spelt word in ver. 17 by the description the Maachathite, Maachad being a region at the foot of Hermon, bordering on and belonging to Syria.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(19) And the sons of his wife Hodiah.--The existing Hebrew text says, And the sons of Hodiah's wife. Hodiah recurs as a man's name in Nehemiah 8:7; Nehemiah 9:5; but a very slight change--the addition of three letters--in the Hebrew would give the sense: "And sons of his Jewish wife, the sister of Naham, were the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa," &c.Naham is unknown.Keilah is a town in the Shephelah (Joshua 15:44), well known as the scene of David's prowess and peril (1 Samuel 23).Eshtemoa occurred in 1Chronicles 4:17, in connexion with Ishbah, son of Ezra by Bithiah. (See Note there.) The Garmites and Maachathites are unknown clans. The former founded or were settled at Keilah. It appears that abi ("father of") has dropped out of the text before Eshtemoa; the sense being that the Maachathites were settled at Eshtemoa; which, of course, they may have been, side by side with the half-Egyptian clan Ishbah. Maachah is mentioned, 1Chronicles 2:48, as a concubine of Caleb. The list is still dealing with the Calebite division of Hezron. . . .
