Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 8:9

"And he begat of Hodesh his wife, Jobab, and Zibia, and Mesha, and Malcam," — 1 Chronicles 8:9 (ASV)

Hodesh his wife. —The new Moabite wife or settlement of Shaharaim. The names of two of the sons begotten in Moab have a Moabite character—namely, Mesha’, compare Mesha king of Moab, 2 Kings 3:4; and Malcham, compare Malcham (Milcom) as a title of the god of Moab and Ammon, Jeremiah 49:1 (Hebrew).
