"And Ahaz begat Jehoaddah; and Jehoaddah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza." — 1 Chronicles 8:36 (ASV)
Jehoadah. —Heb., Jeho’addah. 1 Chronicles 9:42 gives Jarah (Heb., Ja’rah), a mistake arising from the common confusion of the Heb. d and r. The name there should be read, “Jo’addah,” a contraction of the present form.
Alemeth. —In 1 Chronicles 7:8 a son of Becher; in 1 Chronicles 6:60 a Levitical town. The name is apparently personal here.
