"And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name." — Ezra 2:61 (ASV)
Barzillai the Gileadite. —See the well-known history in 2 Samuel 17:27.
After their name. —Rather, after her name, she having been probably an heiress.
